Hi,
I know that there’s a saying ‘all roads lead to Rome’, but my friend, whose first language is English, was making a joke and replaced the word ‘Rome’ with ‘pubs’.
What struck me though was that he put ‘the’ in front of ‘roads’.
“All the roads lead to pubs.”
Shouldn’t it be ‘all roads’ without the definite article?
Thank you.
