Answer:

The word peculiar was used in 1611 to mean a very special person or object. This meaning can be followed to its present meaning, strange, odd, or unusual. Likewise, the word corn in England was the name used for all other grains except corn. They had never seen the grain they obtained later from the American Indian.

Answer:

Conversation in 1611 was used in many passages, the word is used something like this: "Your vain conversation received from your fathers," or "Our conversation is in heaven." In the first passage, conversation refers to a manner of life; and in the second, it means citizenship. The word peculiar was used in 1611 to mean a very special person or object. This meaning can be followed to its present meaning, strange, odd, or unusual. Likewise, the word corn in England was the name used for all other grains except corn. They had never seen the grain they obtained later from the American Indian. Our vocabulary must have evolved throughout time as we advanced in different ways and as humanity continues to evolve I am definite that our vocabulary will continue to change as time goes on.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Use an apostrophe in the possessive form of a noun to indicate ownership. To

show

ownership, add apostrophe + s to the end of a word, with one exception: To show

ownership with a plural noun already ending in s add only the apostrophe.

 All singular nouns show possession by adding apostrophe + s ('s), including those

that already end in s.

Examples:

A boy's shirt is under the chair.

The child's toy was on the shelf.

Lois's book is fascinating.

The bus's door was still open
