Questions on article usage
I was looking at several online English lesson sites.
1. Why do you need the article "the" here?
Shop wisely! You could end up choosing the wrong club and losng more money than pounds.
2. Why there is no need for an article here?
He had a class at 8 a.m. Joe started walking to (no article) class.
3. The next question is not on articles but is this sence correct?
Sit down in your chair.

wrong club is singular and countable, so you must have an article.
a wrong club may seem more logical, but with wrong (as with right), we usually say the.
