@AngryKorean55 you can say “I was late for school”, no need to use articles. As for omitting articles it depends on the nouns. For example:
Brazil is an interesting country. (You don’t need to say “The Brazil”.)
I don’t understand Japanese. (No need to say “The Japanese”)
Another example omitting and not omitting:
Spring is my favorite season. (General statement)
The spring I spent with you was amazing. (Specific spring I spent with someone)

A few examples!
An egg:
You should fry an egg for dinner. (Not a specific egg, just a random egg you’ll get from the fridge)
The egg:
The egg my chicken laid last week is huge. (A specific egg, the egg your chicken laid)
A bird:
I saw a cute bird on the roof this morning. (Not a specific bird, just a bird you saw)
The bird:
The bird my mom gave me is really pretty. (A specific bird, the bird your mom gave you)
