The voice definitely said "volume" not "vol". This happened in a previous sentence in this lesson as well.
I'm asking myself if the answer could or should be "i'ts a long flight FROM europe to america" as well. Or is that wrong?
Guys, could you please fix this sentence? I thought it would be a long flight, but ended up writing a long volume, which don't make no sense unless you're talking about the loooong volume of Atlantic ocean water.
Is it wrong to translate the Europe and the America (sounds wrong all right especially the America part) or can it be the Americas?? would be grateful
We don't use "the" in front of names (proper nouns) unless that is part of the name. It's usually because the country or area has a plural name that it gets "the":
- America
- The United States of America
- Europe
- France
- England
- The Netherlands
- The Balkans
- etc.
"The Americas" is the continents of both North and South America, and there aren't any other Americas which is why we use the definite article here.
