Hello everyone.

Sometimes I'm quite confused which rule to follow when it comes to using articles. For example, they say the Eiffel Tour but Buckingham Palace. In both cases the first word is the name of a person. Maybe it's obvious for others but not for me.

Thanks in advance.

You have asked a good question. The Eiffel Tower is more an exception than the rule. In most cases the article is not used in proper nouns consisting of a proper noun and a common noun: Oslo University, Londo
