Grammar
(the) videos
Hi, is this sentence okay?
I would like to introduce you to my work by showing you videos I made for this purpose.
I decided not to insert the definite article before 'videos'. That's fine, right? (No videos have been mentioned until this sentence).
Thank you.

Clive, one quick follow-up question:
Even I have not mentioned these videos, what would adding "the" before videos do? The way that I understand, if I insert it, it means:
- they were either mentioned before
OR / AND
- it's all the videos that I have created (even if not mentioned, the "THAT" modifier serves to explain what videos I am referring to).
Correct?

I would like to introduce you to my work by showing you (some, a selection, a few) videos I made for this purpose.
When you omit "the" it implies that not all the videos will be shown.
I would like to introduce you to my work by showing you (all) the videos I made for this purpose.
