Ikki savol

1. Egalik bormi? So'zdan keyin darrov boshqa ot keladimi, va orasiga «ning» qo'ysa bo'ladimi? Yo'q bo'lsa — apostrof kerak emas, gap oddiy ko'plik.

2. Egasi nechta? Bitta bo'lsa -'s, bir nechta bo'lsa -s'. Egalik qilingan narsa nechta ekani ahamiyatsiz.

⚠️ Tuzoq: Eng ko'p uchraydigan xato — oddiy ko'plikka apostrof qo'yish: The museum's opened at ten. «Nechta muzey?» degan javob apostrof talab qilmaydi. Apostrof faqat «kimning?» savoliga javob berganda tushadi.

Ishlangan namuna

The archive holds the working papers of eleven nineteenth-century bridge engineers, and the calculations in them are done in pencil on squared paper. The arithmetic is correct almost everywhere, which is remarkable given that every square root had to be looked up in a printed table and copied out by hand.

1-savol — egalik bormi? Bo'sh joydan keyin arithmetic keladi, va «muhandislarning hisob-kitobi» ma'nosi chiqadi. Ha, egalik.

2-savol — egasi nechta? eleven … bridge engineers — o'n bitta. Ko'plik.

Ko'plikda so'z allaqachon -s bilan tugagan, shuning uchun apostrof oxiriga qo'yiladi va yana bir s qo'shilmaydi.

TO‘G‘RIengineers' — ko'p egali egalik shakli — o'n bir muhandisning hisob-kitobi.
TUZOQengineers — oddiy ko'plik: egalikni umuman bildirmaydi. «Muhandislar hisob-kitobi» degan birikma yasalmaydi.
TUZOQengineer's — bitta muhandisning — matn esa o'n bittasi haqida.
TUZOQengineers's — bunday shakl yo'q: -s bilan tugagan ko'plikka faqat apostrof qo'shiladi.
📌 Eslatma: Diqqat: egalik qilingan narsa nechta ekani hech narsani o'zgartirmaydi. the engineers' notebook (bitta daftar) ham, the engineers' notebooks ham bir xil apostrof oladi — apostrofni egasi boshqaradi.

Fifteen stand along the two miles of the old sea front, each one built to house a single family and later divided into flats. The ground floors were shops within thirty years, and only three of the original staircases survive.

The company kept one clock in the gatehouse and set every other clock in the works by it each Monday morning. That pendulum was two inches longer than the standard, so the whole factory ran four minutes slow for eleven years without anyone noticing.

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A parish was allowed one licensed alehouse for every hundred people, and the licence was attached to the building rather than to the keeper. A list of licences therefore doubles as a list of its larger houses, and the same addresses appear on it for a century at a time.

Rope used to be laid in a walk a quarter of a mile long, because the strands had to be stretched their full length before they were twisted together. Most surviving are now roads or long terraces of houses, and the street name is often the only sign of what once stood there.
