If you speak about your likes in general,don �t use �the �. I like nature . ex: I like cats(general) but I like the Siamese cats(and not the Angora or the European..) I hope it helps. Titine |

Actually, Titine, that isn �t quite right. It would also be "I like Siamese cats" (without "the"), because we still aren �t talking about specific cats, just a breed. I like cats. I like cars. I like sports cars. I like Honda Civics. I like nature. I like elm trees. I don �t like poison ivy. I especially don �t like the poison ivy in my backyard. I like the cat next door. I like my car. I don �t like any of the cars in that lot. Bruce |
