The rule

Before a definite object (with ה־, a name, or "this") Hebrew adds . Before an indefinite object there is no .

I see a dog (no )
I see the dog ( + ה־)
I love Sarah (name → )

Each sentence shows the rule. Listen, say it after the voice, then tap the grey bar for the meaning and a note on the rule. The pattern quiz blanks out the key form.
