Cas possessif / structure en OF / nom composéSlide2
Extrait d’un forum consacré à la grammaire
Bonjour,
J'ai une question un peu bête mais qui me pose problème :
Quelle est la règle pour l'utilisation de "of" en anglais ?
Voici typiquement un exemple où je ne sais jamais quelle solution est correcte :
pour dire "un projet d'indexation de nos archives",
est-ce que je dis :
a
project
of indexation of
our
archives
ou
an indexation
project
of
our
archives
ou
an archives indexation
project
est-ce que les 3 sont justes ou y'en a-t'il qu'un seul qui est juste ? (et pourquoi ?)
Merci pour votre aide !Slide3
