I believe there is a consistent rule, you use THE when you're referring to a country AS a group of islands, like the PhilippineS, the BahamaS, but if the country name stays singular, despite is also made of a group of islands, you don't use any article (like Malaysia)

That was so short and precise! Excellent video. Thank you!

nice videos, Alex. thank you
nice method of clarification

growing up in new york city, I've always wondered why the borough that's known as "the Bronx" has a "the" in it and the other boroughs (Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island) do not. Any history on this?

I think you should add the rule III for countries: "The countries whose name looks likes in plural require "The"", e.g. the Netherland*s*, the Bahama*s*, etc.))

Nice lesson! Well explained. But Malaysia isn't exactly a group of island. It is mainly a peninsula coupled with a few other states on its east. Perhaps a better example would be Indonesia. The country with the most number of island. Ok ok, I'm being pedantic.I'll stop now.

alex, there is not South América. América is only one continente from Argentina to Canadá.

NOTE: America is a continent divided by 3 parts which are north, central and south america.Therefore, it is absolutely wrong to show South america as describied. Please correct that. Thanks!

the Republic of the Philippines has a political title
