I have one question about english grammar. I know use the *'s*, but
when is
2 things, what i do? Like
This is Linda's computer. (This is the computer of Linda)
or
This is Linda's keyboard's computer (This is the keyboard of the
computer of
Linda)
No. If you want "This is the keyboard of the computer of Linda," that
would be "This is Linda's computer's keyboard."
Roshne explain a lot of thing. Between singular and plural I prefer
singular. Even in portuguese singular is better (Vassoura de Bruxa do
Cacau). I still a bit confuse :P
Hehe. Witches' is a britan english and Witch's is a american
english...
Well, let's choice the american english...
No. It's the same in both British and American English (I was
educated under both systems in different stages of my life).
"Witches" is plural. "Witch" is singular. Therefore "witch's" means
something that belongs to one witch while "witches'" is something that
belongs to many witches.
So the last question is (Cocoa*'s* Witch's Broom) is wrong, right?
Or the 2
ways are correct.
"Cocoa's Witch's Broom" is fine since a "Witch's Broom" is a plant and
even if it were literal, it's the broom of a singular witch.
