frequently in conjunction with
the article to avoid the use of the possessive adjective before parts of
the body, or articles of dress,[135] as--
Me he quebrado la pierna: I broke my leg.
Se ha danado los ojos, _or_ la vista: He has damaged his eyes or
eyesight.
[Footnote 135: The article is most generally substituted for the
possessive pronoun referring to parts of the body or articles of dress,
whenever this can be done _without producing ambiguity_, as--
Me dio la mano: He gave me his hand.
Tiene los ojos azules: His eyes are blue.
Le cogi el brazo: I caught his arm.
Me duele la cabeza: My head aches.
Me lastiman las botas: My boots hurt me.]
