   Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 02.02.2022 23:36   
      
    AK>> Olly Richards, author of the "Teach Youself Foreign Language   
    AK>> Graded Readers" series, speaks eight languages and is the man   
    AK>> behind the popular language learning blog "I Will Teach You a   
    AK>> Language."   
      
    AK>> Why is the subj "old stuff"? Because I ask you why there is   
    AK>> no "the" article before "author".   
      
      
      
    AH> I mentioned awhile ago that "the" may be optional in a sentence   
    AH> like "Mrs. Grant is currently in [the] hospital." AFAIK it wouldn't   
    AH> be incorrect to add "the" in this case... but in a journalistic   
    AH> style it might be omitted.   
      
   Is "the" in "Bill Clinton, the President of United States of America" correct?   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
