Re: The profession of the teacher / the profession of a teacher? Thank you, 5jj! And what about the phrase "the son of a teacher"? If we only know that a person's father is a teacher (by profession), are both variants below correct?
He is a teacher's son. He is the son of a teacher.Last edited by englishhobby; 27-Nov-2012 at 07:42.
