sorry for being so ignorant but what are these uses?

there was an article about the re-introduction of latin to the nat. curriculum in yesterday's guardian. i don't think it's policy yet.

i personally regret not having had the opportunity of learning latin yet and intend to do so at university. it is obviously very useful and more useful than maths to some people. if you are aware of the grammar of one language then you are in a much better position to understand you mother tongue and use it more accurately and beautifully. latin is of course a brilliant language to learn because it is related to not only english but also other european languages, so it facilitates becoming a polyglot. i also think it's important to learn about grammar today because of the way our culture could dangerously become illiterate and lose an important part of it's literary heritage.

lol, they done a study recently and found that most people don't know when and when not to use 's

i have a question thought, when is the right time to use a ' (can't remember what it's called) behind an s?

When it's a plural possessive. For example, the witches' cauldron - a cauldron that belongs to a group of witches.

Could one join please?

Was that purposely incorrect?

just goes to show i am an ignorant swine who hasn't learnt her latin

nono- you haven't learnt your english- latin has nothing to do with the use of apostrophes (sorry- being a pedant there).


(and yes I know I've missed out loads of capitals)

Just thought I'd bump this thread up for people about to take their GCSE English Language exams, as well as upcoming A2 English Language or combined Lang/Lit exams.
