See related link, below.
No.
The belongs to a small group of words called articles.
There are only three articles -- a / an / the.
The is called the definite article. The can be used before all common nouns - singular plural countable or uncountable.
When you use the you are talking about something that the speaker and hearer know about. So if we say "the dog" this means a dog the speaker and hearer know about already.
A: I saw a dog get run over this morning.
B: Really! What happened?
A: The dog ran out on the road and was hit by a car.
In the first sentence A says a dog because B doesn't know which dog A is talking about. (a dog means any dog). In the second sentence A says the dog because now B knows which dog A is talking about, it is the dog A mentioned in the first sentence.
