Hello,

which of the sentences below is correct?

1. A thousand beds on board to help ease overcrowding in the city`s hospitals.

2. A thousand beds on board to help ease overcrowding in the city hospitals.

Neither is a sentence.

Start all sentences with capital letters!: Which

Get rid of those spaces around the apostrophe in city ' s. It's all one word: city's.

The city's hospitals are all the hospitals in the city.

The city hospitals are all the hospitals owned and run by the city.

Thanks for your correction. But I still don't know the sentences below are coorect or not?

1. A thousand beds on board to help ease overcrowding in the city's hospitals.

2. A thousand beds on board to help ease overcrowding in the city hospitals.

The both sentences are difficult to understand for me. Personally, I would say: A thousand beds on board will ease overcrowded hospitals in the city.

Unlike numbers 1 and 2, yours is a complete sentence. It's correct with my change.

Do you understand why neither of your examples is a complete sentence?

 

[kompstar]

Unfortunately, I don't understand.

 

[GoesStation]

Neither of them contains a main verb.

 

[emsr2d2]

They could be turned into complete sentences simply by adding "There are" at the beginning.
