A grammar problem.
Hi everybody,
What is the difference between saying:
a friend of Tom or a friend of Tom's?
Wouldn't be the sentence right if I took the 's out?
I have been studied the genitive saxon for quite long time such as Peter's house, Tom's Bar, and things like that but I don't cleary undestand this.
Could anybody explain this so that I can understand, please?
Thanks.
