possessive case

I think you are correct; there was perhaps a misprint. Another possibility is after a two-month's journey.

Apart from the misplaced apostrophe, it sounds generally a little odd to me, without an article.

Thanks a lot and kind regards.

HelaDear teachers,

I have read the following in a text of a grammar book:

"After two month's journey, we could see..."

Shouldn' it be "After two months' journey" instead? If not, why?

Thank you for your help.

Here is my 2 pennies....

Consider this variation: "After

Let's recap. So are these 3 possibilities correct ? [:^)]

1) After two months' journey...

2) After a two month 's journey...

3) After a two-month journey...

Yes, but now I don't like my #2 (with a hyphen, of course) as much-- Goodman's #3 is much better. As a matter of fact, I'm still trying to figure out whether a two-month's is logico-grammatically correct, though I do indeed say and hear it.

Dear Mr Micawber,

But do you still consider #1 as correct ?

Best wishes.

Yes, indeed, Hela.

Hi Mr. M,

The phrase "logico-grammatically"is quite a variation -- using what-looks-to-be a prefix as one adverb. Maybe help me to use those impressive words too?

Thank you Mr Micawber

See you soon,

Hela
