Grammar
light, water, wind
I wonder if I should put "the" before light, water and wind. I want to use these words as general constituents of the world.
For example just light itself.Not specific light. So are water and wind.
I searched the dictionary and for light and water, without "the." And for wind, usually you put "the."
I need your help!!

Didn't you say it wasn't any specific resources? Then you don't need the definite article, "the." For growing, plants need air more than they need wind. And they need dirt.
