states
I need a hint about the use of articles with states.
They say "Ohio", or "the state of Mississippi", but is it possible to say, like, "the Oregon state"?
Do they use such a structure at all, and if yes, do you need an article here?

To confuse the issue even more, I live in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is one of the fifty United States but we refer to the form of government when referencing Virginia. I used to live in the State of California but we often said it was the state of confusion. I agree that Oregon State is probably a reference to the educational institution.

Depending on context you may hear "Oregon state" used without "the" in front. But, If you heard "Oregon State" (Note the capitalization of State) then it most likely refers to a college/university by that name.

"the Oregon state" is not used.
"and if yes", it should be, "and if so"
