subject: the Possessive case

Hi, Mike Powell!
I read your message from 03.03.2018 03:21

 ak>> 1. in "the decision by former Trump campaign official Rick Gates
 ak>> to plead guilty" Tramp doesn't actually possess of this campaign -
 ak>> "Tramp" is just an adjective to "campaign".
"Campaign" is an
 ak>> inanimate object, and therefore used without the Possessive case.
 MP> I believe you have found the answer here! That makes perfect sense.

 ak>> Another example maybe could look like this: "A well-known Putin
 ak>> glorification journalist has written a big article about the
 ak>> upcoming elections".

 MP> LOL, so you have "glorification journalists" in your part of the
 MP> World also? Here we call their work "fake news," but it has gone by
 MP> other names in the past.

Well, Grammar examples are not necessary based on real facts. But they
should sound good to be easily memorized. ;-)

Bye, Mike!
