What is the plural of a two-word proper name? E.g.,

English

Mashutka [201]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>There are many “Tom Smiths” in the Manhattan phone book.</em>

Explanation:

Although using plural for proper nouns may seem strange since it's not common in everyday speech, there is an established set of rules that deals with it. When we talk about two-word personal proper nouns, the most important rules are as follows:

- only the second word is used to make plural form

- in most cases adding "s" is the correct way

- if proper nouns end with "s" or "z" then we need to add "es" to make proper plural form (one Patty Mills, three Patty Millses)

So, with this in mind, the correct answer would be adding "s" on the second word (Tom Smiths)

Can you explain when to use a semi colon and what is its purpose?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

A semi colon is used to link 2 related clauses, before a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase connecting 2 clauses, and separating items on a list that also contains commas

Explanation:

A semi colon ";" is a punctuation mark with 3 functions; it is used:

  1. <u>To link 2 complete and independent clauses that are related.</u>     Example: Kate loves attending ballet class; when she dances, she feels     like a butterfly.
  2. <u>Before a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase that is connecting two complete and independent clauses.</u>                                                   Example: Susan has never enjoyed playing sports; nevertheless, she never misses an NFL game on TV.
  3. To separate items in a list that also contains commas. Example: Children usually like eating ice cream with different topping combinations such as: caramel, nuts and chocolate chips; strawberries, marshmallows and pecans; and coconut, brownie bites and whipped cream.

When reading, semicolons indicate a pause moderately longer than that of a comma, but shorter than that of a period.

What’s an opening paragraph for a story about a radioactive alligator that can shoot lasers out of his eyes, has super strength
-Dominant- [34]

It was finally D-day. We were super excited to be visiting the 'R-Zoo' as it was called ('R' for Radioactive). The zoo was the only one of its kind, with its main attraction being its extremely fierce radioactive alligator. That is precisely where we were headed first. As soon as we entered the somewhat dimly lit cavern, we could hear a roar from the crowd, with a preceding crackling sound, something that resembled a burst of lightning and the sharp wham of something very heavy falling onto the ground. It was a huge banyan tree that was lying horizontally at the edge of the water. At first, we didn't notice anything much except the brown wooden log and the glistening water. It was only when the log started moving that we could make out <em>what</em> was moving it - a huge, menacing, scaly creature with jaws powerful enough to hurl the heavy tree out of the water, laser-like eyes glinting with anger at probably being disturbed out of its reverie, and a body that seemed to be emitting sparks at regular intervals, igniting the dry leaves that came in its way.
