Consider the following sentence:
Who is the president of France?
I want to build a shorter sentence and I don't know if I should use a noun adjective or possessive mark:
Who is the France's president?
or
Who is the France president?
Replacing of by 's seems more logic, but the second sentence looks ok to me.
Thus, my questions are:
- Which of these sentences are grammaticaly correct?
- If both are correct, should I prefer one sentence?
Answer
When you talk about possessiveness, the article is not put.
The house of Tom -okay
But...
The Tom's house - not okay.
So...
Who is the president of France? -okay
Who is France's president? -okay.
But...
Who is the France's president? -not okay.
As far are preferring one is concerned, "The president of...." is more common I think.
