articles 1

學與教英文多年，我認為英文的articles是最難學好的一部份。有數條rules要重新溫習：

6. Titles of People
When a title is given with a name, use nothing
President Mitchael Queen Mary Professor Scott

When a title is used without a name, use "the"
The president the queen the professor

7.Schools
When a school has "of" in its title, use "the"
The University of Arizona The University of London Chapter 2

When a school does not have "of" in its title, use nothing
Lincoln High School Arizona State University Liverpool John Moores University

8. Location versus Activity
When referring to an activity, use nothing
I am going to school now.(activity-study)
We went to cinema. (activity-see a movie)
He is always on time for class. (activity-learn)

When referring to the location, use "the"
The meeting is at the school. (location-campus)
They are remodeling the cinema. (location-building)
The new student had trouble finding the class. (location-classroom)

另外，專有名詞前article的用法也很棘手。可參考這份文件：

以下兩篇也是類似內容：
