possession of body parts
This question relates to:French writing exercise "A day in my cat Max's life"
Asked 1 year ago
“He opens his eyes.” There’s no ambiguity whose eyes he’s opening, so it’s les yeux.
“He comes into my arms.” There are two beings involved, the cat and the speaker. Therefore you use the possessive pronoun and not the article.
