Hello everyone! Could anyone define when we use a definite article the with names of lakes and in which cases we omit it? For example, Shatski Lakes (the group of lakes in Ukraine) or the Shatski Lakes? Or even just the Shatski? Lake Baikal, the Baikal, the Lake of Baikal? And Victoria, the Victoria or (the) Lake Victoria? What to do with Dead Sea? By nature it's regarded as a lake, but its name contains the word "sea", so...
I've read many rules, but I still have some doubts about article+lakes, because they say there are some cases in which we still use article "the" with names of lakes. So I need a little help here!
I will really appreciate your help!
