[Sorry for the double posting. It was necessary to reload Part 2 of this lesson.]
Topic: Using articles with places and geographical names.
Part 2 summarizes the guidelines presented in Part 1 and offers more practice.
NOTE: I'm very sorry to announce as of January 2012 links to EnglishCafe will no longer be active due to the site closing. I was very lucky to be a part of that online community while it lasted. I'm also sorry for the loss of additional materials for learners.
