enflyt 0 #62 May 23, 2007 Quote The "definite article" actually is only "required" to distinguish a specific item from one of many, but it simply sounds "better" and more natural to American ears in general to say "the hospital". AAHHHH definate articles, nouns in construct, verbal vs nominal sentances.... It took 63 weeks of Arabic to learn what these things mean in English. But now I'm so confused I cant say things correctly in either language. However, the Cali girl in me will always use 'THE 405 to THE 5', because it does just sound better:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
