Common errors in English: Usage of Not “The Rajshahi University”

 Not “The Rajshahi University”


Incorrect : He reads in the Rajshahi University. 


Correct : He reads in Rajshahi University. Or He reads in the University of Rajshahi. 


Note: "Rajshahi" is a proper noun, whereas “University” is a common noun. As a rule, the definite article is not used with proper nouns. However, 'the' is generally used before the names of rivers, seas, oceans, bays, gulfs, mountain ranges, groups of islands and countries (consisting of an adjective and a noun). Thus we say: 


The Padma, the Red Sea, the Atlantic ocean, the Bay of Bengal, the Persian Gulf, the Alps and the United States of America.
