Mar 30, 2017 at 15:38 comment added David K The answers to this question are all good. At least, that was true when I wrote this comment referring to the four answers visible on this page at that time. If I had not written "the" at the beginning of this comment, it would still be grammatically correct and meaningful but its truthfulness would be more dubious.

Mar 29, 2017 at 14:34 comment added Dr. Funk Do you mean "Lions kept in zoos are aggressive"? Or do you mean "These specific lions at this specific zoo are aggressive"?

Mar 29, 2017 at 10:02 comment added J.R. @fixer - That's more of an answer than a comment.
Mar 29, 2017 at 9:50 comment added J.R. India is a lot bigger than a zoo, so there's more room for flexibility.

titles are not for the text you are asking about. (Put that text in your question body, and give your question a more concise title.)

Mar 29, 2017 at 9:27 comment added Tom @fixer1234, there is no wrong to say "Lions in India are very aggressive". Then, what is the difference between "India" & "The zoo"?
Mar 29, 2017 at 9:26 comment added Tom @fixer1234, but what about "general lions at a specific zoo"?
