@sydney26elliott Thank you very much for the detailed corrections. 😊👍They are very helpful. 👍👍By the way, in no.15, I knew a girls’ school is correct but I wanted to know if a girl’s school is correct because I didn’t think a girl’s school was correct until I saw “a rich man’s world.” Why isn’t it “a rich men’s world”? Are there any reasons?
- English (UK)
@chen117
it's a man's world = one man's world but it can't be men's world.
men is already in plural form of man so men's wrong.
but you can get mens clothing = a lot of men.

@sydney26elliott Thank you for the reply. But I am thinking about a world that many rich men live in, not a world that only a rich man lives in. So, can’t it be a rich men’s world?
