Some nouns have to have “the” before it but seems like not all of them need it, so any explanations would be helpful!
edit: wow, didn’t expect so much traction on this. Thank you for your explanations! Interestingly, I’m actually a native English speaker but don’t really know grammar terminology all that well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

English has massive amounts of cultural rules and dialect. School is typically associated with a person, like you know what school is theirs. A nightclub is not that. The nightclub will take “a” or “the”. If you did that with school, it would show that one goes to various schools, like a job where on travels; or identifying your location.
