La page 105 de Advanced French Grammar de Véronique Mazet dit que:
The definite article also follows any other verb, as long as the owner (of the body part) is obvious. Note that the owner is represented by the indirect object pronoun lui in the last two examples:
- Il lui a coupé les cheveux = He cut his/her hair.
- Le docteur lui a examiné la gorge = The doctor examined his/her throat.
Ma question : ces phrases sont-elles équivalentes à celles-ci :
- Il a coupé ses cheveux.
- Le docteur a examiné sa gorge.
Si non, pourquoi pas ?
