I'm a bit confused about the use of articles in the following sentences:
1. "The reclassification of the shares of (the name of the company)..."
A grammar says that "of phrases" usually take "the". I would like to know whether the above sentence sounds a bit awkward or not (because of the usage of two articles). Furthermore, if we have a few "of phrases" in a row, what usually happens to the articles? Do we ommit some of them, and if we do - which ones? Thanks!
2. "They need to obtain a consent of the Supervisory Board."
Do I need to say the or a consent?
3. Do the words final and total always take "the" (e.g. "the final consent", "the total price")..
4. What is the grammar rule explaining the use of a/an in "an increase of 2 million" and similar?
Many thanks!
