Hi, thanks for having this forum, it's my first time here.
My question: I think I once heard that it was possible to omit the apostrophee in certain cases, and still have a genitive. The examples were more or less like these:
the morning newspaper (instead of "the morning's newspaper")
last Tuesday workshop (instead of "last Tuesday's workshop")
Last Monday meeting (same as above)
Although it looks more like a case of adjectives (Monday as a modifier of meeting. So I wonder what, from a grammar point of view, is this? adjectives or possessives withoug apostrophee?
thanks for your feedback.
