Hi everyone

On the website, which should I write 'Recent Updated pages' or 'Recently Updated Pages?'
Google reveals that the latter one is more used. To me, the former one is natural.

ex)
Recent Updated Pages
******* June 6, 2007
******* June 6, 2007
******* June 6, 2007

Thanks

Hi Yoong Liat

After checking again on Google, I prefer the latter one, too.

NOT the same meaning:

'Recent Updated pages': recent pages which are updated (when you separate them notionally: first updated, then select the recent ones from them).

You can think of 'Early Updated pages,' for a comparison.

'Recently Updated Pages' pages which have been recently updated. This is what it is generally meant and should be used.

Thank you Marius.

It was tough for me to understand the difference, but your explanaition has resolved my question perfectly!

By the way, do the blue-colored words above make a good sentence?

Thanks
