用法筆記
Always used with the definite article 'the' and capitalized. Frequently paired with a specific country region (e.g., 'the French Alps', 'the Swiss Alps'). Treat as a plural proper noun — use plural verbs (e.g., 'The Alps are a popular destination'). Some traditional style guides use singular agreement for the mountain range as a single entity, but plural verbs are far more common in modern English.
