Spot the Errors

Hi all,

Can anyone explain me these:

1.) "The type of placement will vary, dependent upon the individual company, but will often be of two weeks' duration?"

2.) "Where do you see yourself in five years' time?"

Thank you!

Thanks AlpheccaStars.

I mean the "of two weeks' duration" and "in five years' time", I am not sure if they are grammatically correct with the aprostrophes.

I couldn't find any source on google that can explain me how to use the apostrophe correctly.

Alphecca has just told you that 'explain me' is not correct, and you wrote it again! Your English is not going to improve if you are not paying attention.
