Dear all,
1.Goran Ivanisevic is probably the most famous left handed tennis player.
why I can't it just "hand" in the sentence one
2.She's got a little shop near the market, where she sells second-hand things.
Can I say second-handed things?
Thanks a lot. |

Correction: Why can't I say just "hand" in sentence one?
If you have more control of your left hand then you are left handed. If you have more control of your right hand then you are right handed.
If you are not the original owner of, let's say, your car then you drive a second hand car
