Thank you very much sir!
Now that I have read a lot on the usage of the definite article, one thing remains to be understood. That is, can we use the definite article with abstract nouns like "dark", "relation", "loyalty", "dedication"?
For example can I say, "As far as the loyalty of John is concerned, I doubt it"?
I know it would have been better had I said, "As far as John's loyalty is concerned..".
