?which one sounds more correct
?Yemen Or The Yemen

Yemen is correct. The article "the" is used for specifying a single thing from all the things of its kind. For example when you say "the pen" you mean a special pen while "pen" is general. Special nouns like country names and human names are originally specified.​

There is a rule: Use "the" if the country’s name includes a common noun. examples: the United States , the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union​

Although there are some important expectations like "the Philippines"​

Important note: "the" is used with the names of geographic areas like rivers,seas,deserts,etc. examples: the North Sea, the Alps, the Sahara. Therefore if you use "the" with a country name that doesn't include a common noun you imply that an entire nation is simply a geographic area. For example if you say "the Ukraine" instead of "Ukraine" the Ukrainians may be offended
So there is no "more correct" and "less correct" in this case. If you say "The Yemen" all the people of Yemen may be offended. ​

?which one sounds more correct
?Yemen Or The Yemen

Of course,there's no "the".
when you say" the name of a country" ,it may refer to a specific area in that country.
when you say the Yemen,for example,it my be the Yemen river,or a special place,name of a company ,etc.​

I have read the first two chapters
…
Which one is correct?
Why?

Surely the second one is grammatically correct.the first sentence doesn't convey any proper meaning.​

I am really happy because high levels are over , so there's no discussion between me and the teacher when both of us never accept each other's ideas . as a
.result ,there's no question from me ! you know, I do believe that in some special cases , there's no right , no wrong
and about Yemen, again !,although you are all right but in longman english grammar, it is written that for some countries there are some exceptions and
as a result we use the for them .
But when I checked it again , I saw that the was in parentheses maybe that means it 's optional!
anyway thanks[nb]by the way , this post is a complete spam [/nb]

I've got a question about using the word UNLESS

I know that there must be a positive phrase in front of the word unless, but I'm not sure if I use it correct or not
for instant: Unless you buy this tickets, you can't go to see the movie
or
Unless this lesson is finished, u can't pass the final exam

thanks for your helps.​

I dont think there must be a positive phrase infront of the word "unless" .
like this sentence:unless you dont lie,you wont be a good guy.
your sentences were correct :]​
