He contacts his mobile device by the hand
Hello
1. Does this make sense?
He contacts his mobile device by the hand most out of his body parts. (contact to mean "touch")
2. Or should it be chaned to
He has contact his mobile device by the hand most out of his body parts.
3. both "by" and "with" ok to use?
4. In the above, can I say "a hand" because we contact the device with only one hand?
But is "the hand" better because we can use either side of two hand? (but we still use only one hand at one time)
Million Thanks to you all
