Hello! Is it Sunday? Oh my god! I wish
it were Saturday!. Thanks in advance!
If you see something wrong in my writing, correct
me whenever you want. (see above  ) I will thank you!
Well... my question:
"The cries sound like THOSE OF a (=the cries of a)
baby asking for milk!"
Is the usage of "THOSE OF" correct here? Yes
I have seen people using it but I don?t know
what is the correct way of using it?
Is it a "substitute" for a noun or something
that you said before?
Yes, that's exactly right, Jesus. "Those" can replace a noun that you've just mentioned and means basically the same thing as "the ones".
Thanks a million!
Enjoy today! Thanks! I'll do that!!
