afternoon/evening of a particular day:

 - you look upset.'yes,I've had a terrible morning.

However,we use zero article with at night and by night. compare:

 - she kept us awake all through the night.

 - I don't like driving at night.

We use zero article with midnight,midday, and noon:

 - if possible,I'd like it finished by midday.

We usually use zero article when we talk about meals:

 - what have we got for dinner?

 - I don't like drinking coffee at breakfast.

We wouldn't say,for example,'I had a/the breakfast before I went home'

however,if we want to describe a particular meal,then we can use an article:

 - we didn't get up until 10 o'clock and had a late breakfast.

 - the dinner we had at Webster's restaurant was marvellous.

When we talk about a formal dinner or lunch for a special occasion,we use 'a dinner' or 'a lunch':

 - we're having a dinner to welcome the new manager.

  *study these extracts from a newspapers and decide which of them need an article (the or a/an).
