Dear All,
I know that you use an apostrophe followed by an s to indicate possesion (Jim's car).
Why is it however that in some cases that look like it should be used it is not, e.g. we say company house rather than company's house? Reading a book on English Medieval history, at some point it was saying Paston tomb where I though it should be Paston's tomb.
Is there any rule for differentiating?
Regards,
George
