| What about this? 2. The residents can bring their own containers to the corner of Burke street and Earles street. Is #2 synonymous with #1? 3. The residents can bring their own containers to the corner of (determiner) Burke street and Earles street. (How come I don't need to use a determiner there? Like 'a, the,' ?) Thanks. |

| Both carry the same meaning: 1a. Bring your containers to the corner of these [connecting] streets. 2a. Bring your own containers to the corner of this street and that street. Burke Street and Earles Street are place names (proper nouns), so a determiner is not required. |
