Grammar Puzzles Solved (2): Which is correct: “on your right hand” or “on your right-handed”?The proper phrase is “on your right hand.”
Answer:
-
“On your right hand” means something is physically located on your right hand, such as a ring:
-
She wears a ring on her right hand.
-
-
If you mean direction, you should say “on your right” (without “hand”):
-
The shop is on your right.
“Right-handed” is an adjective that describes a person who primarily uses their right hand:
-
He is right-handed. (Correct)
-
On your right-handed side (Incorrect)
So, depending on your meaning, you should use either “on your right hand” (for objects on your hand) or “on your right” (for location).
