Grammar
Use of "the" (#2)
0 Dear professional English teachers, 02 br
02 br
00 I just do not understand how English native speakers use/do not use "the" in some situations (sentences). For example, in the following Example-1, 01 u 00 is it wrong if I put "the" in front of the word "page"? 02 u 02 br
02 br
00 (Example-1) 02 br
00 Have you reached 01 u 00 page 02 u 00 100 yet? 02 br
02 br
00 Also, in the second example below, 01 u 00 is it wrong if I changed the article "a" to "the"? 02 u 00 Should I consider the part of the sentence "has a daily circulation of" something like a phrase? (Thus, "the" is wrong to use in this case?) 02 br
02 br
00 (Example-2) 02 br
00 This newspaper has 01 u 00 a 02 u 00 daily circulation of 1,000. 02 br

00 Someone, please help me understand clearly. 0-
