4. Names
Names and titles are not normally preceded by the definite article (the)
•
Manchester University, Manchester
But this changes if the noun phrase contains a post-modifying structure (of ...)
•
The University of Manchester, The United States of America
or if they contain words like organisation, association or institute
•
The World Health Organisation, The American Heart Association, The Royal Society. The SETI
Institute
Apart from these simple rules, the other thing you need to do is to check how noun phrases are used
in the texts that you read. Make a mental note of this as you read, or check back to the source text
when you are writing.
