Frage über Englisch (US)
Costa Rica was much like that. From high up, all we could see in any direction was endless rain forest. There wasn't a single home, hotel, farm, power line or even dirt road within eyesight. The New World must have looked like that when the first Europeans laid eyes on it in *the 1500s.
If I remove "the" (definite article), does it sound weird?

@nomadatlatl I assume you mean the 16th century. Why won't you simply use that? No problem then. But if you don't want to omit "the 1500s", I don't think you can omit "the" then. 🤔

“the 1500s” has to stay as that. If you were to indicate to a specific date/year then you could omit “the”, but since it’s more of a broad statement it needs to stay to sound natural. (*^ω^*)

@seito7 I was not sure if "the" should have been put in this context. It's clear to me now thanks to you!。◕‿◕。
