Please list those countries!
We don’t normally use the definite article (the) before the names of countries when the name is a proper noun, like a person’s name:
- Hungary
- Italy
- Greece
- Mexico
- Egypt
Use THE if the country’s name includes words like kingdom, states or republic.
Also,when the name is a plural noun.
When the name is followed by OF.
Here are some examples:
- The United States of America
- The People’s Republic of China
- The Democratic Republic of Congo
- The Republic of Ireland
- The United Kingdom
- The United Arab Emirates
- The Dominican Republic
- The Czech Republic
- The Central African Republic
- The Netherlands
- The (Commonwealth of the) Bahamas
- The (Republic of the) Maldives
- The (Republic of the) Philippines
