Re: English article and proper noun

Jim makes sense! I would just like to correct one thing in your post, Anon. I have never said that the should be used if a name contains common nouns. Leaving out the is common if a name consists of nothing but common nouns. However, it is very common to omit the article in names that consist...

Introduction:tense correction

Hi, I don't think there's the article 'a' before 000 right? University is a countable noun, so why no article? When we say 'I'm going to York University', 'York University' is a proper name (and thus we normally use a capital 'U'). That's why there is no article. If you say 'I'm going to...

I"m going to 000 university

I don't think there's the article 'a' before 000 right? University is a countable noun, so why no article? Also, without 000 I think the article can be used (what's the difference if it's not used?), like "I'm going to a university". Why is that? I have some suspicions in the...
