Sometimes, but not always. The article 'the' can precede an adjective or adverb that come before the noun.
Examples:
- the house
- the old house (adjective)
- the very old house (adverb + adjective)
Mass (non-count) nouns, abstract noun, and gerunds (verbal nouns) usually don't use articles or determiners; words like oil, freedom, or swimming.
