Neither is correct. Say:

What place do you think you are in the history

what place do you think you have in the history?


Hi teachers, which one is correct? Thanks~

What place do you think you (will) have in history? (no "the")

hi, could you please explain why?

[2006]

hi, could you please explain why?

I assume you mean 'why no the?'

I can answer in two ways:

1...If you want to use "the", I will ask you 'the history of what?' History is just history; you don't need a "the".

2...You would use "the" if you are talking about a particular part of history. 'What place do you think you willl have in the history of Hong Kong?'

Sorry for not making my question clear. Thank you so much for you explanation. Usage of "the" is always difficult for me.

Eventually, you will become such a fluent speaker that you may develop the tendancy to swallow the the entirely. Often we know it is there, but never quite hear it.

P.S. 2006's answer was better than mine. It should be:

What place do you think you will have in history? (No "the" there.)

I meant the sentence was marked by red colour above.
I am a crazy fan of MU. So that why I used the Reds. Sorry for making no sense.
