Одним прохладным зимним днём на Паддингтонском вокзале в Лондоне чета Браунов обнаруживает медвежонка в стильной красной шляпе, этот милый и достаточно робкий зверёк учтиво здоровается с каждым, проходящим мимо него, человеком. Завидев странного интеллигентного медведя, Брауны останавливаются и решают на одну ночь приютить бездомного гостя столицы.

На шее у мишки была бирка с надписью: «Присмотрите за этим медведем. Спасибо». Говорящий медвежонок Паддингтон прибыл в Лондон из Южной Америки. Попав в настоящую английскую семью, он не растерялся и решил не просто наслаждаться гостеприимством хозяев дома, а и помогать им с уборкой и прочими домашними делами. Беда в том, что все попытки Паддингтона стать помощником с треском проваливались

USE 19

If a direction (north, west, southeast, left, right) directly follows a verb, do not use an article with the direction.

Examples:

• We need to walk south.
• They drove north all day.
• At the stop sign, turn left and walk three blocks.

HOWEVER: If a direction follows a preposition, you must use THE.

Examples:

• We need to walk to the south.
• Our house is in the north.
• The grocery store is on the right.

MOREOVER: Use THE with compass directions when referring to them as special geographic or cultural regions.

Examples:

• We love the South.
• Have you ever visited the East?
• The West has better national parks.

USE 20

THE can be used with plural family names to refer to the family as a group.

Examples:

• The Robinsons love to vacation in Florida.
• The Shinoharas are originally from Japan.
• My brother lives next door to the Jacksons.

USE 21

THE can be combined with certain adjectives to refer to a group of people such as "the blind", "the elderly", "the rich", "the French", "the Sioux", etc.

Examples:

• He is elderly. Adjective
• The organization helps the elderly. Elderly people

REMEMBER: This is especially important in situations where nationalities or ethnic groups and their languages might be confused. In such situations, THE is used to specify that we are talking about the nationality or ethnic group rather than the language.

Examples:

• I like French. Language
• I like the French. The French people

HOWEVER: When generalizing about nationalities or ethnic groups that end in "-ans", such as "Americans", "Mexicans", and "Hawaiians", THE is not usually used.

Examples:

• Americans watch a lot of TV.
• Germans drink a lot of beer.
