reverse or back

0Hi,02br
02br
00When you are referring to the back side of a paper, can you use the phrase "the reverse side of the paper"?02br
02br
00Also, why do you need "a" here when you know that you have one head and using a determiner "a" to precede the head seems to be incongruent to the basic tenet of language equilibrium.02br

00You use "a" because "head" is not defined; you would say "I have 01b00the02b00 huge head of my father/mother".0-

0No, it's not wrong. But I think you'd better wait fro the opinion of a native. I'm sorry I'm not able to help you better here... 050010id6
