article Q

vcoltsQ. Should we have "the" in front of old buildings?

With the limited context given, 'the' does not seem necessary.

If so, in "Some of the buildings resemble the buildings of metropolitan New York," you do not need "the" in front of buildings of New York, right?

So basically the following sentences would be correct (without "the" for the buildings in New York phrase), right?:

The buildings in my campus resemble buildings in metropolitan New York.
The buildings in my campus resemble buildin

Yes, but 'on my campus'.

But if we are talking about buildings from a particular era, we must put "the", right?

For example:

"... resemble the buildings of the medieval times."

vcoltsBut if we are talking about buildings from a particular era, we must put "the", right? For example:"... resemble the buildings of the medieval times."

No, not at all. Your last example is not different from your previous one.

Ex. The buildings resemble buildings of old schools of the West.

Q. Do I need the "the" in front of "old"?

Thanks.

You keep asking the same question.

Just that i was always taught to put the before of phrases. Trying to get out of that brainwashing. Forgive me .
