Is it the general rule - that article follows the main word in the group?

mr02077Is it the general rule - that article follows the main word in the group?In the case of straight "noun + noun" combinations like "button click", yes.
In other phrases, not necessarily. For example, in "the man's appearance", the head noun is "appearance" yet the article is attached to "man".
