The = 'you know which one'

1. The means 'you know which(one/ones) I mean'

e.g
I bought a radio and a CD player, but the CD player didn't work.
( the CD player 指的是剛買的那一個)

The women over there work with my sister .
(The women, 指明是over there work, 所以有'the')

Please close the door.
(對方是看見得的)

2. We often use the with only and with the superlatives
最好的, 最....

e.g.
She's the only woman for me

It's the best restaurant in town
