Hello,
My American friend corrected me when I said I was going to Ukraine on holiday; it should be "the Ukraine", she said. I've never heard the article used before the name of the country on the BBC. I've scoured the forum and had a look at previous threads. However, the question remains unanswered for me. I see 'the' in my books and don't hear it on the radio. Which do you say/hear more often?
Which do you teach?
Thank you.
