Dear teacher,
I ran into the following sentences at another forum.
1 There is no Mike's bike in my house.
2 Mike's bike is not in my house.
One native speaker said that sentence 1 is grammatcially incorrect, because someone's name can't be used as an adjective like that. But I am confused about why when someone's name is used as an adjective in the sentence 2, it is correct. Looking forward to your help, and thanks in advance.
