Transformation of sentence The house of one of my neighbours has been robbed.
In transforming the above sentence, which of the following is the correct sentence? If neither, how should I phrase it? Thanks.
One of my neighbours' houses has been robbed.
One of my neighbours' house has been robbed.
Thanks.Last edited by Tan Elaine; 15-Jul-2011 at 04:25.

Teacher Re: Transformation of sentence Your original sentence does not lend itself to transformation.
Change robbed to burgled and it's perfect.
(You rob a person, not a building.)

Teacher Re: Transformation of sentence Come to think of it, bank robbers is a common enough phrase.
Perhaps you can rob a house.
