Welcome arjitsharma. The sentence you would like to know about should read "She is pregnant with her second child" and in "this" or "the" Instagram snap.

Is this sentence wrong " Helel skelton reveals she is pregnant with cute family instagram snap". I saw it on the celebrity news. If the sentence is correct, I would like to know why the definite is omitted in the sentence when the article should be used according to the rule. I asked this question before but I didn't specify it.

Is this sentence wrong? "Helen Skelton reveals she is pregnant with cute family Instagram snap". I saw it on the celebrity news. If the sentence is correct, I would like to know why the definite article is omitted in the sentence when the article should be used according to the rule. I asked this question before but I didn't specify it. (I don't know what you mean by the underlined part.)

Note my comment and corrections above. Don't put a space after opening quotation marks.

Which "rule" are you referring to? Where do you want to put the definite article in your second example?

Articles are normally omitted from headlines, which are written in a special compact style.

Re: Article.

Even if it wasn't a headline, there is no place in the Helen Skelton example for the definite article.

I suspect arjitsharma meant to say indefinite article.
