Good afternoon everybody
well I am an english learner and I am analyzing some errors so I would like to know the difference between those sentences:
Ebola got its name after a river in the north part of Congo.
Ebola got its name after a river in the north part in Congo.
I know that the first one is the correct one, but why?
thank you in advance
