Grammar
"North Of The City" And "The North Of England"
Someone told me "the north of the city" is ungrammatical, saying "north of the city" is right.
If so, how do I accept this expression: the north of England.
Top answer
They are both grammatical, but have different meanings. The north of the city would refer to an area in the city, north of the center of the city. North of the city would refer to a place or area outside the city that lies to the north of it.
