-The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time its about a young boy that suffers from autism yet he is an incredibly taletented mathematician. he unfortunately discovers the neighbors dog was murdered. so he takes it upon himself on solving the mystery. he's encouraged by his social worker at school to write a book about his investigations. a lovely book and i highly recommend it if anyones in search of a beautifully written novel. |

When I was a kid I had this story book where a kid bought lots of plants, so many that they took over his entire house. That book was great, but sadly I have no idea who it was by or what it was called. Would like to see it again. |

Apostrophe is not required to indicate plural. Keep reading, ChildrenTalking. |

to tell you the truth mamapapa i never really was all that good in grammar i barely got through enc 1101 and 1102 in college. i still enjoy reading though :) |
||||||||
|

It is a very simple rule. The apostrophe is used as an abbreviation, to indicate that letters have been removed. It is not used in plurals, nor to show possession. IT'S is short for IT IS, it does not indicate ownership. RIGHT: Its flames were hot and fiery. WRONG: It's flame's were hot and fiery. |
||||||||

I don't think that's grammar really. |

It is. :p |

To expound, grammar is the study of the rules of a language, syntax is the structure. :) |

i loved that book! (curious incident of the dog...) probably my favorite ever is bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and Tolkein's works yep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite single book is probably Stephen Kings It... great plot, characters, etc... really exciting read... I also really like the WOT series by Robert Jordan, although he's dragging it out WAY too fucking long... I wish the bastard would just end it already! It's always at 10 books, probably averaging 600 or 700 pages each... and I hear there are still 3 more to go... oh my... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually the apostrophe is used to show posession, and the plurals of numbers, letters, or abreviations. as well as the omission of letters. but i don't think that's what this thread was about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Sorry, I was referring specifically to "it", the most common misuse - Naturally, if it is a noun, it is used... "harry's" "the house's". Thanks for spotlighting that, evolume. |

Not sure which is my fave, but I really enjoyed "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and I liked all Kurt Wonnegut's books I've read. Stephen King's "Dark Tower" is really great. I've only read the first three books in the series, but I enjoyed them a lot. King's "Roadwork" is a nice one, too. |

|

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas is another great one |

I've just realised Children Talking has started a thread that doesn't revolve around right wing biggotry. Well done, keep it up. |

my favourite is CITY- Alessandro Baricco (i guess u meant this one 010101) also its shocking to find out that there is another book by the same name, from the post earlier...altho i always considered that name lame as fuck..and too ordinary... |
