Subject:grammar : "of", " 's" or nothing ? From:"Yoann Le Bleis" <yoannlebleis -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Mon, 7 Aug 2006 15:23:43 +0200
Does anyone have a good link to a page that exhaustively defines the use of
*of*, *'s* and *nothing* in a nominal group?
I learned these rules a few years ago, but I cannot remember them exactly...
Can I use the *'s* for an object possessing another object? eg "widget's
event"
What about concepts?
How can I choose between "confidentiality rules" and "rules of
confidentiality"?
I hope my request is clear enough...
