Engelsk
Indsæt af Apostrof
Hejsa...
Jeg sidder med nogle engelsk opgaver, og er kommet til indsætning af apostrof i en tekst, hvilket jeg ikke er specielt god til.
Så vis der er nogle der evt. har tid, eller mulighed for at kikke den nedskrevende tekst igennem for apostrof.
"A study from the University of Minnesota has shown that the common parental approach to addressing teens weight leaves much to be desired - and thats if they are even aware there is a problem in the first place!
An all-too-common approach parents use for their overweight teens is to suggest they diet. But 5 years later, those kids were far more likely to sill be too heavy then were overweight kids whose parents had no idea they were fat and did nothing.
The study found that 46 percent of girls parents and 60 percent of boys parents incorrectly thought their kids weights were about right"
På for hånd tusinde tak ...

Forresten jeg vil mene det ville komme til at se således ud:
"A study from the University of Minnesota has shown that the common parental approach to addressing teen's weight leaves much to be desired - and that's if they are even aware there is a problem in the first place!

Hejsa Carsten
1. Teens' weight. Der er her tale om teens, altså flertal som dannes ved at tilføje et "s", og derfor skal der indsættes apostrof efter "s"-et for at udtrykke ejefald. Hvis der nu var tale om én teenager, skulle det hedde: One teenager's weight. (Men pas på navneord, hvor flertal ikke dannes ved at tilføje "-s"; f.eks. hedder det men's health magazine og ikke mens' health magazine).
2. That's. Perfect (en sammentrækning af that is:-)
3. ...approach parents use... Her skal der ikke bruges apostrof (use fungerer her som udsagnsord (altså: den "approach", som forældrene bruger/use) - der er ikke tale om ejefaldsformen the parents' use, hvor use fungerer som navneord).
4. Girls' + boys' parents. Both perfect (samme princip som i nr. 1 med teens' weight)
5. Kids' weight. Also perfect (ligesom nr. 1 + 4)
