Please note my corrections above. Also note that I have changed your thread title. Titles should be unique, relevant to the thread and should include some/all of the words/phrases/sentences you are asking us about. Your actual question should appear only in the main body of your post.

 

[Nasir]

Noted.

 

[Tdol]

And it needs to tell us what it will be investigating.

 

[Nasir]

It will take your five minutes to read the investigation.

 

[Glizdka]

It will take your five minutes to read the investigation.

The brevity of the investigation doesn't matter. What Tdol is saying is that your sentence feels like there's a missing complement to the word investigate. You need to add what you'll be investigating because investigate is transitive. Besides, it's always a good idea to signal to the reader what they're about to read about.

"This article aims to investigate [that thing that's going to be investigated] from a Marxist feminist standpoint."

 

[Nasir]

Will you please explain why it is "take you five" instead of " take your five"?

Although when I was writing the sentence, Grammarly was suggesting me the same, yet I override.

It is for the same reason that it is odd to say:

It will take your five minutes to walk to the bus stop.

 

[5jj]

It is not just odd; it is completely wrong.

 

[emsr2d2]

The possessive "your" has no place in that sentence. You're not talking about someone owning five minutes. You're talking about how long it takes someone to do something.

It takes me five minutes to get ready.
It will take you twenty minutes to walk to my house.
It takes him an hour to drive to his parents' place.
It takes them far too long to write their essays.
It takes us a year to save up enough to go on holiday.

 

[Nasir]

It is helpful when someone mentioned that it is odd or wrong, but it will be more helpful if somebody mentions the reason behind its oddity and wrong.

 

[emsr2d2]

It is helpful when someone [STRIKE]mentioned that it[/STRIKE] says something is odd or wrong, but it [STRIKE]will[/STRIKE] would be more helpful to [STRIKE]if somebody mentions[/STRIKE] give the reason. [STRIKE]behind its oddity and wrong.[/STRIKE]

See post #11, which I was writing at the same time as you were writing this.

Now it is clear to me.

Thanks a lot emsr2d2.

Whenever I wrote something here I got the mistakes, although they are not grammatical mistakes, yet they make the difference in overall comprehension.

Now it is clear to me.

Thanks a lot, emsr2d2.

Whenever I [STRIKE]wrote [/STRIKE] write something, [strike]here[/strike] I [STRIKE]got the [/STRIKE] tend to make mistakes. Although they are not grammatical mistakes, [STRIKE]yet[/STRIKE] they make [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] a difference [STRIKE]in[/STRIKE] to overall comprehension (the meaning of the sentence) .

You cannot join two long sentences with a comma. Keep your sentences short.

 

[Glizdka]

Sometimes we speak the way we do just because. You can think of it as a fixed expression if that helps you.

"It takes 5 minutes."

You can ask "Who(m) will it take 5 minutes?", and answer "It will take you 5 minutes to read it".

---

It doesn't make sense to ask "[STRIKE]Whose[/STRIKE] 5 minutes will it take?"

[STRIKE]"It will take [STRIKE]your[/STRIKE] 5 minutes."[/STRIKE]

[Tdol]

Will you please explain why it is "take you five" instead of " take your five"?

Would you say It will take your a long time?

I wouldn't. It's the same with five minutes.
