"The" is not a transitional word.

The word "the" in English is an Article of Speech. The words a, an, the, are articles--- each type denotes either one particular or one non-specific person or thing.

Examples:

The teacher said to "Quiet down". Using "the" here can mean "this" teacher. It is like saying My Teacher, or The teacher of this class, or The teacher I see every day... or This specific teacher is who I'm referring to...


A teacher said to "Quiet down." Using "A" here can mean any teacher, not a specific one. It is like saying, A teacher I don't know and don't know her name... or A teacher that I recognize as being a teacher but her/his name isn't important when I write this sentence.
