x of y
If " I am a friend of his" is right just like
"I am a fan of yours"
"He is a friend of mine"
"I am a fan of jackson's"
why isn't it "for the sake of god's"?
would "i am a friend of your father's cousin" be valid ?
What would it be :
"I am a fan of batman" or "I am a fan of batman's"
"I am a fan of that band" or " I am a fan of that band's"
"I am a fan of yours"
"He is a friend of mine"
"I am a fan of jackson's"
why isn't it "for the sake of god's"?
would "i am a friend of your father's cousin" be valid ?
What would it be :
"I am a fan of batman" or "I am a fan of batman's"
"I am a fan of that band" or " I am a fan of that band's"
