Look at [*the] page ten
Dear all,
One of these days when I wrote "Look at the page ten of your textbook", I was told that it should be "Look at page ten...", and if I add "the" before "page" it sounds rather wrong.
Why on earth is that, I wonder....! Would you kindly help me? Many thanks

Cool Breeze, thank you SO MUCH for your help. Okay, next time I force myself to use "Please take a look at page ten in your handout" (it is so difficult to correct my own unnatural English, sigh).
