The word "the" is used to talk about a specific or exact noun (person, place, thing, or idea.)
"The" can be used with plural or singular nouns.
Examples- "The horses are running.", "Is that the book you told me about?" and "Would you bring me the cup of coffee on the counter."
"A" is used to talk about an unspecific noun and can only be used with singular words.
Examples- "Is that a house I see or is it a barn?" and "I would like a cup of coffee."

this question is too big. It's better to ask about specific situations because there are many rules.
