Grammar
Using "the"
Hi,
If I write the following sentences.
1. I studies at the University of Toronto.
2. I studies at Boston University.
Are these two sentences correct?
If yes, why do we have "the" for University of Toronto? What make the differences for using "the"?
Thanks!

- Mickeyshan2018 correct?
- Correct.
- A university can choose exactly what it wants to be called.
- However, in general, if it's University of X, we use "the", but if it's X University, we don't use "the".
- There are exceptions, so you have to imitate the way it's done by that university.

By the way, it's "I study", never "I studies".
