Question

'where is the' and 'where is'
whats difference between them?
when should I use 'the'? 
for example. should I use 'the' when I say :
where is the fucking my wallet?

Answer

Well..

"There was a wallet here earlier. Where is the wallet now?" -- You introduce the object first, and when it becomes known, you start using "the". The "the" is referring to a specific wallet.

You can brush up on articles "a", "an" and "the" here: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/determiners/a-an-and-the

Now, if you use possessive pronouns, you don't use "the" in the sentence:

"Where is my fluffy wallet?"
"Where is his fluffy wallet?"
"Where are their fluffy wallets?"

Hope this helps!

Answer

I see. thank you. I thought I need to use 'the' when I'm using -ing.

Answer

Better to say 'Where is my fucking wallet?!'

Using 'the' implies a general state. Where is the gas station? Where is the apple?

Using 'the' implies non possession, so we can replace 'the' with any possessive subject.

'Where is the town's gas station? Where is her apple?
