The white church
Hi,
The main building was the white church in the centre of the park.
If I am mentioning the white church for the first time, is the definite article before white church okay? I put it there because I think it's pretty definite (since it is clear where the church is = in the centre of the park).
Thank you,
Doris

In a way, you have an implied first mention embedded in the sentence.
