It depends on what goes in the first postion. For example, you would say some of the people, but you would say the people of the country.

Does that help?

:)

Sorry....I guess I am too dumb to get it...
Do we say "the clothes of the people" or"clothes of the people?"
:(
thanks!

That's a toughie. My guess is that it would be the first one. Could you give me an example sentence? (Neither seems very likely.)

:)

For instance, " the uniforms of the Flower high school students are terribly disgusting."

Shall I just leave the definite article before uniforms or omit it?

Thanks! :)

You need the article there. The sentence is referring to specific uniforms, those worn by those students. :wink:
