Would you correct the errors?
1. I went to the art museum to take a look at works of art.
9. I went to the barber shop to have my hair cut.
All the others are fine!
=)
Yes, those are all correct.
Before proper nouns, we can either use "the" or not. I depend upon what sounds right. In the case of "New York Theater" in your last post, you could also say, "I went to New York Theater."
As you're learning, there are almost no comprehensible rules for using "the." My 19-year-old Korean friend who has lived in the States for almost 10 years and is an honor student, still occasionally makes an error using an article.
