Grammar
the definite article
Could you please explain the usage of the definite article in the first sentence and its absence in the second one?
1. The dog is a friend of man.
2. Dogs are domestic animals.
My grammar book says:
1) to represent a class of animals;
2) to refer to all members of a class.
Is it only about plural\singular?
Are these sentences correct:
Dogs are friends of man.
The dog is a domestic animal.
Thank you very much!

Hi, Yes to everything you said. Articles are not easy to grasp, and not easy to teach. But it just takes time.
