Grammar
preposition questions.
Hi,
First of all I apologize for the lack of clarity in my title.
Here are some doubts I have. Most of the sentences don't need contextualization. Here we go:
1. "Let's move at that specific time. They will have left." (context: you don't want to find yourself in the same room as some other people.)
2. What are the correct sentences to say "she looks at nothing": "She stares into space" or "She looks in the empty" or "She is staring out in the empty" or "She focuses on nothing".
3. "You could've discover(ed) that secret."
4. "It is time to move / (The) Time has come to move" (which of the two looks best?)
5. Does one have to use the 's in that kind of situation: "The workers' money / The workers's money."
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

5. Does one have to use the 's in that kind of situation: "The workers' money / The workers's money." Yes. The first is more than one worker, the second is one worker.

I think you didn't take a proper look at the spelling of the word.

You're right, I didn't notice that other s.
One worker's money.
Two workers' money.
*Workers's money is incorrect.
One worker's money.
Two workers' money.
*Workers's money is incorrect.
