Yeah, you should add 'the' before writing the Prime Minister.

Hello Mona, and welcome to the forum. :)
Also, "social solidity" is unnatural. What do you mean by it?

Yeah, Yes, you should add 'the' before writing the "Prime Minister".
Welcome to the forum, Jennie. :)
1- Note the corrections.
2- "Yeah" is casual and not always appropriate.
3- Tarheel had already covered that point.
4- Please add "Not a Teacher" to your posts. After 10 or 20 posts, you can add that line to your signature.

I hadn't seen your post when I added "Not a Teacher" to post #3 and notified the author of the reason.

There is no sentence to check except for that one. So let's have a go at it.

First, I wish to enlist your support in reducing the use of "alot" (a nonword). Try Thank you or Thanks a bunch. Put a period (full stop) after support. Then say "Please offer corrections".

In post #2, Tarheel already showed you that it should be two separate sentences, with the second beginning "They discussed".

I APPRECIATED appreciate it.
I don't know if you've misheard the words (in some accents, "appreciate it" could sound like "appreciated") but please note the correct construction. There was no reason to put "appreciate it" in capitals.

Yeah, you should add 'the' before writing the Prime Minister.

We are trying to teach English that learners at all levels can safely use in any context whatsoever, no matter how formal or informal. Therefore we don't use colloquialisms such as "yeah" on this site.
