[Grammar] Use of article

[Brightgreen]

HI! Can you tell me if any article is needed in case we use a city's name and some adjective that charactarizes the city. For example, noisy Shanghai or historical Moscow or artistic New-York. Or we don't need any articles here? Thanks in advance.

I would say you do not need the article. And there are many things in New York, but no hyphen.

It would, as always, be a lot easier for us to comment if you put those phrases into complete sentences.

You don't need any article between "busy" and "New York" if that's what you are asking. (Note, there is no hyphen in New York.)

The rest depends on what context you are thinking of.

 

[emsr2d2]

I think context is important for all of them.

The busy New York streets are a nightmare to navigate.

(I don't think the OP was suggesting an article between the adjective and the city name, but before the adjective.)

I can think of the following example - And now you will see busy New York...
Or - Tour guides are offered to visit historical Petersburg

I can think of the following examples -

And now you will see busy New York.
[strike]Or -[/strike] Tour guides are offered to visit historical Petersburg

Your first example is correct.
Your second is not. What do you mean by "Tour guides are offered to visit ..."?

 

[Brightgreen]

Oops I wrote it wrong, It should go as - Guided tours are offered to see (visit) historical Petersburg. Seems like no article is needed here...

That's right. No article is needed.

Thank you!

There is no need to write a new post to say "Thank you". Simply click on the "Thank" button in the bottom left-hand corner of any post you find helpful. That means that we don't have to spend time clicking on something that looks like a new post, only to find it's a "Thanks" rather than a follow-up question or further information.
