By the way, please tell me if "in the public" is ever used and how different it is compared to "in public" (just like "in case" and "in the case")

Thanks a lot

Though I'm not sure about the whole sentence (collocation): to give speech in public.

I think "to give speech in public" is correct, and I think "in the public" may not be a fixed phrase, "public" here may just be a noun modifier. Smile
