Many times I do not know weather I should put the article the so if there is any rule please tell me.



One of these cases when using the expression real life. Would you rather say in real life or in the real life? Or are both correct?

  • There have been many similar questions on this forum, and, no, there isn't a simple rule. We say 'in real life' - we speak of 'life' in general but 'the life' of a particular person.
