Opgave 2 - Genitiv

Her får du Studienets vejledning til Opgave 2 i HHX Engelsk A eksamen den 18. august 2015. I denne opgave får du en række sætninger fra artiklerne "McDonald's latest recipe to reverse declining sales: More 'lovin'”, “McDonald's Is Making 4 Changes To Get You To Eat There Again” og  ”McDonald's Sales Are (Still) in a Slump.” Sætningerne indeholder en genitivform (ejefaldsforbindelse), og du skal forklare hvorfor lige netop den form for genitiv (ejefald) er blevet brugt i den relevante sætning. 

Der er to hovedtyper af genitiv: of-genitiv og apostrof-genitiv ('s). Inden du går videre, anbefaler vi at du læser op på dem begge i vores Engelsk Grammatik: Genitiv.
