Avval ko'plikni yasang, keyin apostrofni qo'ying

70-darsdagi qoida to'liq emas edi. To'lig'i shunday, va u istisnosiz ishlaydi:

📝 Namuna:

1. Avval kerakli shaklni yozing (birlik yoki ko'plik).
2. Agar u -s bilan tugagan bo'lsa — faqat apostrof. Tugamagan bo'lsa — -'s.

Nega bu chalkash tuyuladi

Chunki apostrof ko'plikni emas, tovushni kuzatadi. Qoida aslida quloq uchun yozilgan: oxirida s tovushi bormi?

children — oxirida s yo'q → children's books.

students — oxirida s bor → students' books.

childrens' degan so'z yo'q, chunki childrens degan ko'plik ham yo'q. Xato shu yerdan boshlanadi: noto'g'ri ko'plikdan.

⚠️ Tuzoq: SAT bu qoidani deyarli har doim bitta shaklda so'raydi: variantlar orasida children's va childrens' yonma-yon turadi. Ikkinchisi har doim xato — ingliz tilida bunday so'z yo'q.

Ishlangan namuna

The shoes found under the floor of the farmhouse were not a pair. Two were adult sizes and four were small, and the wear on all six was different. The shoes had been mended at the toe more than once, which is why the archaeologists think the house was occupied for at least a generation.

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

  1. childrens
  2. children's
  3. childrens'
  4. childs'

1-qadam — kerakli shakl: bir nechta bola, ya'ni ko'plik. child ning ko'pligi — children.

2-qadam — oxirida s bormi? children n bilan tugaydi. Demak -'s.

TO‘G‘RIchildren's — to'g'ri ko'plik + -'s. Ikki qadam ham bajarildi.
TUZOQchildrens' — eng ko'p tanlanadigan xato: u childrens degan so'z bordek ko'rsatadi. Bunday so'z yo'q.
TUZOQchildrens — ham noto'g'ri ko'plik, ham egaliksiz.
TUZOQchilds' — childs degan ko'plik ham yo'q — child tartibsiz otlardan.
📌 Eslatma: Diqqat: matn egalik qilingan narsani ko'plikda beradi (shoes), lekin bu javobga ta'sir qilmaydi. Apostrofni har doim egasi boshqaradi — 70-darsdagi o'sha qoida.

The guild ran one almshouse for retired members and a second for their widows, and kept a separate account book for each. The book records eight shillings a week for bread and one for coal, and the amounts do not change between 1804 and 1839 even though prices did.

Barn owls hunt by ear rather than by eye, and one ear opening sits slightly higher than the other so that a sound reaches the two at different moments. Much of what they catch is never seen at all before it is taken. The tunnels under a hayfield give them away in complete darkness.

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

Sanitary inspectors in the 1890s measured a street by counting the taps and drains per house rather than the rooms in it. A single tap in a court of thirty houses counted as thirty taps in the returns, and the figures therefore make the street look far healthier than the notes the same men wrote up the same evening.

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

A workhouse of the 1840s was really two buildings joined by a wall with a single door in it, and the two halves were run as separate institutions with separate accounts. The yard held a stone-breaking shed and the other a laundry, and the door between them was unlocked twice a year.

Xulosa

  • Avval ko'plikni to'g'ri yozing — xatolarning aksariyati shu yerda boshlanadi.
  • Oxirida s bo'lmasa → -'s: children's · women's · men's · mice's · people's.
  • Oxirida s bo'lsa → faqat apostrof: students' · inspectors'.
  • childrens' · womens' · mices' — uchtasi ham mavjud emas.
