0Thank you.02br 02br 00This one does not deal with the same issue but my question is, in the phrase "the child's hand,"is "the" the determiner for hand or what? I get confused about this general area of grammar like this when "the" is placed before a noun with apostrophies, most of the times, I don't whether it (the) is functioning as a derterminer for one or another.02br
