@Dushe I see! Thank you for explaining!! I wanted to say “I love Christmas songs. I could sing them throughout a year!”
- English (US)
"the year" is more specific than "a year" which is vague. If you're talking about a specific year then use "the", example: throughout the year of 2019.

@Eiko54 you're welcome, but in this case you have to use "the" because you are saying this in the present and we knows which year it is. " I could sing them throughout the year".
