078 : Names with and without the 2

   A   

Names without the

 

We do not use the with names of most city streets/roads/squares/parks etc. :

     Union Street (not the ... ),      Fifth Avenue,     Hyde Park,

     Queens Road,                         Broadway,         Times Square

 

Names of important public buildings and institutions (for example, airports, stations, universities) are often two words:

     Manchester Airport,     Harvard University

 

The first word is the name of a place ('Manchester') or a person ('Harvard'). These names are usually without the. In the same way, we say:
     Victoria Station (not the ... ),     Canterbury Cathedral,     Edinburgh Castle,

     Buckingham Palace,                 Cambridge University,     Sydney Harbour

 

Compare:
     Buckingham Palace (not the ... )    but    the Royal Palace
     ('Royal' is an adjective - it is not a name like 'Buckingham'.)

 

 

   B   

Most other buildings have names with the. For example:

 

hotels	the Sheraton Hotel, the Holiday Inn
theatres/cinemas	the Palace Theatre, the Odeon (cinema)
museums/galleries	the Guggenheim Museum, the National Gallery
other buildings	the Empire State (Building), the White House, the Eiffel Tower

 

We often leave out the noun:
     the Sheraton (Hotel),      the Palace (Theatre),      the Guggenheim (Museum)

 

Some names are only the + noun, for example:
     the Acropolis,      the Kremlin,      the Pentagon

 

 

   C   

Names with of usually have the. For example:
     the Bank of England,           the Museum of Modern Art, 

     the Great Wall of China,      the Tower of London

 

Note that we say:
     the University of Cambridge    but    Cambridge University (without the)

 

 

   D   

Many shops, restaurants, hotels, banks etc. are named after people. These names end in -'s or -s. We do not use the with these names:
     McDonald's (not the ... ),      Barclays (bank),     

     Joe's Diner (restaurant),       Macy's (department store)
