Thursday, August 18th 2011Reply to this comment

Hey Rebecca!

Thanks for your lesson!

I think my country is an exception because English people speak always about ‘The Netherlands’ even though they not mean our whole Kingdom but only the part in Europe!?
And when you will speak the whole name of my country you see ‘The’ twice:
THE Kingdom of THE Netherlands.
But you don’t say: The Kingdom of THE Sweden or The Kingdom of THE Great Britain and THE Northern Ireland it is just THE Kingdom of Sweden and THE Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Why it is? (We are special: JEAH!!!! :P )

Bye! Rick

Tuesday, August 23rd 2011Reply to this comment

Monday, January 2nd 2012Reply to this comment

hello. I don’t understand one thing. You didn’t spoke about objects, people, etc.

When do we use “The”?

The leader/The manager/The dog/The laptop/The windows/The air/The substance/The sex/The duty/The moral/The life…etc

This word, and all the others, when do we use “The” or when do we not use “The” ??? Can explain this?
