Greetings. I'm really confused with the way the definite article is used with words like "president", "minister" etc. For example: "Mr X is the President of Humbalumba". (whatever ) and "President Mr X arrived in Tokyo yesterday." Why no article before "president" in the second example?
Here's some more:
"Mr Y, Deputy Chairman at Softworks, was absent today". Is this correct? I mean the bold part.
and
"The Deputy Chairman at Softworks Mr Y was absent today". Do I need the definite article here?
