Questions on the use of definite articles
Hi. Please help.
1. Is this correct without the definite article before the word "widest"?
... try make sure it gets widest distrubution possible.
2. Could you tell me if definite article before the word "high" indicates it is the only high point in his career? Also could we have more than one high point in our career? I think we could. Then if the situation is such that we have more than one high point in our career, we could have a sentence like "It was a high point of his career." Correct or not correct?
It was the high point of his career.
3. If someone was writing a procedure for his lesson, could he word his lesson plan like this with the definite articles? Could we not use the definite articles 1, 2 and 3 below? Let us also assume that this lesson deals with the reading of some famous world figures that made positive impacts on humankind.
This lesson can begin a unit on world history. Extra time may be spend on 1) the readings and discussion about John Doe and Jane Doe.
Procedure:
1. Start the lesson by encouraging 2) the students to practice the reading. 3) The students should be thorough familar with 4) the individual portraits.
