I'm an EFL teacher from Taiwan.
A student got me a question as my title.
For those of u who r native speakers, please
explain the difference between the two sentences below,
1. Most lizards are born from eggs, but a few are born from their mother's body.
2. Most lizards are born from eggs, but a few are born from their mothers' bodies.
Thanks a lot!
BTW, I've asked some Americans here, their first instinctive choice is no.1 sentence. But a few is a plural pronoun, we should put "mothers' bodies" instead, shouldn't we?
