| S2:The painting is being displayed for the first time. In the above two sentences, which one makes more sense? PLUS one other question, should I say: The shop's utensils or The utensils (of or in???) the shop? Similarly, the car's headlights or the headlights of the car? Thanks for helping, teachers! ^o^ |

| The second sentence makes more sense. With common collocation, we often use the first noun as an adjective, rather than a possessive, so I would say 'car headlights'. However, the possessive could be used when talking about a specific car. |
