Answer 2

I can help you with the use of articles in English. Here are the correct sentences with the articles a, an, the, where required:

1. The United States is between Mexico and Canada. (We use the definite article the before the names of countries that are plural or have a political title such as republic, kingdom, etc. We do not use any article before the names of countries that are singular and do not have a political title.) 2. Yesterday I had a party. The party was very funny. (We use the indefinite article a or an before a singular countable noun that is mentioned for the first time. We use the definite article the before a noun that is already known or specified.) 3. Shakespeare is the greatest English writer. (We use the definite article the before a noun that is unique or has a superlative degree.) 4. The Alps are the highest mountains in Europe. (We use the definite article the before the names of mountain ranges, rivers, seas, oceans, and deserts. We do not use any article before the names of continents.) 5. It is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. (We use the definite article the before the names of oceans and seas.)

Answer 3

1. The United States is between Mexico and Canada.

The use of the definite article "the" before "United States" is appropriate because it refers to a specific country. Similarly, "the" is used before "Mexico" and "Canada" because they are also specific countries.

2. Yesterday I had a party. The party was very funny.

The indefinite article "a" is used before "party" because it refers to a non-specific party. However, the definite article "the" is used before "party" in the second sentence because it refers to a specific party that the speaker is referring to.

3. Shakespeare is the greatest English writer.

The definite article "the" is used before "greatest" because it refers to a specific superlative degree. Similarly, "the" is used before "English writer" because it refers to a specific category of writers.

4. The Alps are the highest mountains in Europe.

The definite article "the" is used before "Alps" because it refers to a specific mountain range. Similarly, "the" is used before "highest mountains" because it refers to a specific category of mountains. Additionally, "the" is used before "Europe" because it refers to a specific continent.

5. It is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

The definite article "the" is used before "waters" because it refers to a specific body of water. Similarly, "the" is used before "Atlantic Ocean" because it refers to a specific ocean.
