Hi Ardith Hinton!
I read your message on 10-Feb-2022

  AK>> I went to school to meet with headmaster. Capital of the US is
  AK>> Washington. Composer of "Moon sonata" is Beethoven. After school I
  AK>> went home. Head is part of body.

  AK>> Are there any examples how to disprove my rule?

  AH> After school [or work] I went home... that's correct.

  AH> WRT your other examples here, the article may be needed when you
  AH> are *not* using nouns in apposition... as you did in your initial
  AH> enquiry.

  AH>  The head is part of the body.

It can be understood that "This head is a part of this body" A criminal 
investigation. :)
And why not "a body"?

  AH> The capital of Canada is Ottawa, Ontario.
  AH> The President of the US remarked yesterday that... [blah blah].

Well, it seems, I see, "The" is necessary when there is no definition 
before the countable noun and this noun defines something unique.
In my case we will have "the" if we paraphrase the sentence:




Bye Ardith!
