Guys, this time I am writing a blog post when a question troubles me. I have consulted various dictionaries and websites but have not got a very satisfying answer yet. Hope you guys can give me a hand. Also in this post I would like to take the opportunity to thank those experts who have answered my questions on ‘the number of quantity’ and ‘are they the same day’.
This question is:
Teachers have a different attitude towards the mobile phone from students/students’.
Which word fits here, students or students’? Thanks.
@shengliver,
Teachers have a different attitude towards the mobile phone from students.
I 'd have said:
Teachers have a different attitude toward the mobile phone than students.
That is short for:
Teachers have a different attitude toward the mobile phone than students do.
@shengliver,
If the students purchased property
then it 'd be the students' property, e.g. the students' new house.
@OmSigDAVID,
In British English.
Teachers have a different attitude to mobile phones compared with that of students.
