A leg of a chair vs of chair?
Hi, everyone.
Could someone help me understand the use of indefinite article in a sentence like the following? Should there be two "a"s in the sentence below? Is there a rule for the use of double indefinite articles like this?
(I see my brother holding something in his hand.)
Is it a leg of a chair in your hand?
Or should I say,
Is it a leg of chair in your hand?
(PS; please note that I am not talking about the leg of a specific chair.)
Thanks!
