Grammar
"The nature"
Hello!
Is the use of the word "nature" correct in the following sentence: "Think about the nature". I was told that there is a grammatical rule according to which you cannot use "the nature" unless referring to human nature or preceded by something like in "think about the British nature". What's the verdict?
