| Re: use of "the" Thanks for the reply. I wonder whether the def article could be used if chief guest is written as Chief Guest. By the way, why dont we say " He has been elected the prime minister", but say "He has been elected prime minister"? Won't this rule apply to my earlier question? Hope I get a reply to this as well |
