Default Full

Hello! How is it going?. I´ve got one question to ask. Thanks in advance!

1.- "Full". If I use Full in the following sentence, does it mean

"there are lots of people on the street"?

The sentence is: "The streets are FULL of people"
I was thinking that there´s maybe another way to mean
that in English. Is there any other way?

By the way, can I omit the definite article THE?

"Streets are full of people"

It means the streets are crowded. "full of" works there. It's good.

Yes, you need the definite article. "streets" is a count noun.

All the best.
