When do we use “the” with countries, continents, and landmarks? Check out this lesson to find out, and then go to the resources page to get the full list! And if you missed Alex’s previous lesson, watch When to use ‘THE’ with bodies of water.
hello ALEX thanks for the lesson, could you please do lesson on (beaten & hit)?what is deference between them? ,and is this sentence are correct?,I fell on the floor and my head hits the floor,thanks a lot.
We need comprehensive explanation about “the”, apparently where to you and where not to use.
If you ask me what is blocking you to feel confident in English. I would say the use of “the”. If I’m 100% clear about use of the I would say I’m 98% confident in English.
So, Please Alex and team help us to understand thoroughly the use of “the” . I hope other students around the world will agree with me.
Even though it’s the same land, Europe is treated as its own continent, politically and linguistically. The dividing line (as you probably know) is the Ural Mountains.
hi teacher .sorry I have a query if you don’t mind …we say
to encourage or to encouraging
Is there really a difference between them ?
“to” Working with the verb infinitive
or
“to” prepositions, which works for the gerund
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
to motivate and encourage them
or
to motivated and encouraging them
and thanks a lot

Hi, Alex!
Thanks a lot for your lessons!
But Europe is not a continent, it’s a part of world. Eurasia is continent :)
P.S. And Asia is not a continent too :)
Even though it’s the same land, Europe is treated as its own continent, politically and linguistically. The dividing line (as you probably know) is the Ural Mountains.
