(B) In this lesson you learn that when "al" comes after "min" then it becomes "mina", for example you will say "Min Muhammad" when there is no "al" and not "mina Muhammad", however when al comes then you'll say "minal bayti" and not "min al-bayti", then too you should keep in mind the previous lesson about sun and moon letters, in this previous example "al-bayti" was a moon letter, that's why it became "minal bayti", however if a sun letter is used then it will be "minash shamsi", and the same will apply to the rest of the sun and moon letters.

Al-baytu: Minal bayti – The house: from the house
Al-masjidu: Ilal masjidi – The Masjid: to the masjid
