0Hi,02br
02br
001. ... is a girls' subject02br
02br
002. ... is a girls' school02br
02br
003. ... is a teachers seminar.02br
02br
004. ... is a games magazine .02br
02br
00As to no. 3, why is it that I rarely see 'a teachers' seminar'? I think Mr. M told us that a publisher dislikes an apostrophe for that kind of case.02br
02br
00As to no. 4, why is that 'games' instead of 'game' is used? Since a magazine is for many games, then the plural 'games' is OK. I thought a singular version? is usually used as an adjective? 0-
