Объяснение:
Имена и фамилии людей используются без артикля, но если речь идет о семье в целом, то используется артикль the (the Smiths, the Orlovs).
Когда перед существительным собственным стоит нарицательное существительное, обозначающее звание, или существительное, служащее принятой формой обращения, то артикль не употребляется (Doctor Brown, Mr. Wilson)
Перед названиями стран, океанов, морей, заливов и другими географическими названиями, представляющими собой сочетание существительного нарицательного с предшествующим определяющим словом употребляется артикль the: the United States - Соединенные Штаты, the Pacific Ocean - Тихий Океан
Названия рек всегда с the (the Nile, the Amazon, the Volga). И стороны света тоже (the North / the north – Север (как территориальное обозначение) / север (как направление)).
Если рядом с названием озера используется слово lake, то определенный артикль не нужен: Lake Baikal.
