2 Extrait d’un forum consacré à la grammaire
Bonjour, J'ai une question un peu bête mais qui me pose problème : Quelle est la règle pour l'utilisation de "of" en anglais ? Voici typiquement un exemple où je ne sais jamais quelle solution est correcte : pour dire "un projet d'indexation de nos archives", est-ce que je dis : a project of indexation of our archives ou an indexation project of our archives ou an archives indexation project est-ce que les 3 sont justes ou y'en a-t'il qu'un seul qui est juste ? (et pourquoi ?) Merci pour votre aide !
