Articles
Hello. I have a question about the use of articles before of-phrases. I have read, that if we can change the noun in an of-phrase on a verb+ing, than there is no article before the phrase (like "growth of the economy - the economy is growing"). But I have read the following sentence: "The financial position of the company remains stable". I think, we can rephrase that sentence as "the company is positioning". The action is incomplete, so the definite article sholdn't be used here. Could you explain, please?
