I have recently come across a sentence which was asked in a competitive exam under the heading Error-detection.
1 What is your date of birth ?
I have read the solved paper in a book which says that it should be
2 What is the date of birth of yours?
I want to know why cannot I use pronoun your with date of birth ? Why is the first sentence wrong?
Important point is that in competitive exams,we have to follow the standard rules.We cannot use modern usage?
