Post under some topics you would like to talk about at the English classes.
Are we going to be friends this year?
As I have told you before , you post as " Anonymus " and sign with your first name only !
GENITIVE CASE
If you have to show joint ownership, give the possessive form to the final name only.
- Abbott and Costello's famous baseball sketch.
- Coca Cola's latest advertising campaign.
Companies are often treated like people.
For example:-
When we refer to a particular time (in the present, past or future), it’s possible to use the saxon genitive. For example:
Today’s news.
Last week’s meeting.
Four days’ holiday.
Next year’s budget.
When we refer to a regularly occurring time, we use an adjective, such as ‘daily’, ‘monthly’, ‘annual’, and not the saxon genitive:
What happened at yesterday’s meeting?
Have you read today’s newspaper?
Sara’s got three days’ sick leave.
We need to get ready for this afternoon’s conference.
Next year’s budget is only a little higher than this year’s.

I think the new school rules are quite strict, but we will get used to it in time even if it is quite difficult to stay 6-7 hours with a mask on our mouth and nose, but in this way we protect ourselves from the virus.
ReplyDeleteThe first day of school was a little weird because me and my classroom talked in the school yard, because we weren't allowed inside.
I hope we'll be fine and we won't get sick.
-Alessia
Great !
DeleteAbout this school year I think there are many things changed: firstly the regulation which is very strict and quite complicated and secondly the teaching style which is quite different and with which it will be quite difficult for us to get used to. But we will have to stay united even from the required distance and to respect the regulations because everything is for our own good. We will have to focus more on learning this school year and take care of our health.
ReplyDeleteEcaterina
Good one !
DeleteThe exception I have noticed in the last exercise is the 5th one: "ten minutes' walk".
ReplyDelete-Andrei 2
...and "two days' work"
DeleteIn the last exercise, I have seen two sentences that used the genitive in - 's. I searched and found that they are " expressions of time" so we use apostrophe.
ReplyDelete-Alexia-
"ten minutes' walk" and "two days' work" are exception because "s" and "of" are not used.
ReplyDelete-andrei
In the last exercise, i have notice, the exception is ,,two days' work".
ReplyDelete-Gabriela
I - always with capital letter
