Articled for places and commercial stores
Hi,
I am having some difficulties with putting "the" in front of various public or private places, like
"Fashion Bug store", "Town Express Mart", and "John's store".
Please give me a website or your help here.

Use the if it is a part of the name or if the modified noun is not part of the name: I hear that the Fashion Bug store is having a sale. ( the is the determiner for store ) Fashion Bug is having a sale. (no The in store's name) The Fashion Bug is having a sale.

00 Maybe I am going over board with this but since I still am not very clear on this, let me give you several store names that appear on their signs and p/s tell me whether or not you would put "the " in front, based on a model sentence. 02 br

0 Thank you again, but let me adhere to 01 u 00 your 02 u 00 original grammartical guidance that said " 01 u 01 font 00 Use "the" if it is a part of the name or if the modified noun is not part of the name," 02 font 02 u 00 and change the model sentence like yours, 01 i 00 I hear that 01 i 00 ____________ 02 i

0 Well, you didn't capitalize, so I took them as common nouns. And now that I look at it, I'd put 01 i 00 the 02 i 00 in brackets before 01 i 00 Princess 02 i 00 too. The 01 i 00 the' 02 i 00 s seem to depend on whether it is a place both speaker and listener are already aware of. 02 br
