Does South America share the continent of North America too?

South America and North America are continents. A continent contains a number of countries, and each of those countries has its own leader. For example, in South America, there are countries like Argentina, Peru, Brazil, and Venezuela. Each one has its own government and its own president. North America is also like that: it contains Canada (which has a prime minister), the United States of America (which has a president), and Mexico (which has a president). Thus, there is no one person who is "president of North America" or "President of South America." A continent does not have only one leader, in other words; it has as many leaders as there are countries.
