“The” before the names of bridges
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:19 am
Dear ALAN!
We have come across the names of bridges with and without "the" many times.
e.g.
Brooklyn Bridge
Tower Bridge
but
The Severn Bridge
Sydney Harbour Bridge
What specialties do the names of bridges have in terms of article usage?
Is there a difference between AmE. and BrE.?
In standart British English which one is mostly used?
Could YOU give a clear explanation (with examples) please?
Many thanks...
