Good mornig:
Can I write "some Mary's friends"?
My teacher said no. She said It means "Friends of Some Mary" because before proper name can't use SOME and I understand "some Friends of Mary". My teacher says It must write "Some of Mary's friends".
I have read a post with similar question but with A/AN and I dont't know if with SOME it's the same (https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/...nite-article-before-a-possessive-noun.234589/),
so I think that "some Mary's friends" is right.
Thanks very much
