Why "thes" here?
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 I saw these sentences and have been wondering why thes" there and seeking justifications for the usage. 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 Assisi Johnson has spent 50 years reproducing wooden picture frames, outfitting homes with 02 i 01 u 00 the elegance 02 u 00 of past eras. Johnson, with 01 u 00 the assistance 02 u 00 of this two daughters, hsa worked for the noble. 02 br
02 br
00 The two words are uncountables and the use of "thes" seem to be warranted by the following restrictive phrases "of past eras" and "of his two daughters." So, the restrictive test for countable nouns are also applicable for uncountable nouns. Right? 02 br
02 br
00 Any further consolidations? 0-
