name plate names
Hi,
If you want to put up name plates on a door for each office in school, how the names be written? Should the names be like this?
1) Principal's Office 2) Nurse's Office 3) Night-duty Room 4) Janitor's Room
If all four looks good to you, then is it that names on the name plates don't need to be written with an English article? But when someone new to school comes in and ask for any of those places, does he always have to place an English article in front of the name of the place he is asking for directions?
Excuse, I am new here, where is the Principal's Office?
In the similar vein of inquiry, why is that when you see a name of place like "the Statue of Liberty", the article is used when used grammatically in sentences, but when you see the name above that picture of the lady holding up the torch, the article is not there? How those names of famous places of various places? Should articles be there above the pictures of them when normally used grammatically?
