An eccentric billionaire is bragging about his upcoming vacations, but his grammar is a bit rusty. Select ALL the sentences where he uses articles correctly with geographical names.
The correct answers are I am thinking of buying a private villa in the Maldives and a camel farm in the Sahara Desert. and My luxury yacht is currently docked near Sicily, but we are sailing to the Canary Islands soon.
Even billionaires have to follow grammar rules!
- Islands: Use the for groups or chains of islands (the Maldives, the Canary Islands), but use no article for single islands (Madagascar, Sicily, Hawaii).
- Deserts: Deserts always take the (the Sahara Desert).
- Continents: Continents take no article (Antarctica, not the Antarctica).
