I suggest ‘The river May Kha flows/is flowing swiftly’.

  • The May Kha flows swiftly. Torsten I would suggest ‘flows’ as in 'I’m ashamed that his blood courses through my veins. It repeats itself over and over again and doesn’t stop.

  • The Mackenzie flows through Canada. It is not necessary to use ‘the river’, although it is possible. See below. You might find a sentence like that in tourist brochures, flyers and leaflets, even in historical outlines about countries and their cities.

Instead of ‘flow’ I would also suggest to use the verb ‘run’.

  • The May Kha runs swiftly
  • The Mackenzie runs through Cananda.

! By the way did you know that the Thames originates from the Celtic Tamesas? !

Please consider it.

By the way the title of this topic should read: How do I write my sentence (the) best rather than How do I write my sentence to be the best.

Consider it, would you?

I would make it simpler:

  • Mr. Johnson left London for New York. (it is generally known that Boris Johnson is the Prime Minister of the UK)

  • Boris Johnson left London for New York.

  • Mrs. Thatcher left London for New York. (Yes, yes, yes, I know she passed away in 2013, but just give you an alternative)

  • Margaret Thatcher left London for New York.

That sounds more natural to me.
