Hello
Please if any teacher could help?
Thank you in advance
How would you describe :
1. Two men named Smith. My answer: Two Smiths
2. The two daughters of Mr. Jones. My answer: Mr. Jones's (two) daughters
3. The wives of the two men in (1) ?
For 3 I see it is somehow difficult
I suggest
Two Smiths' wives.
OR : Messrs Smiths' wives ?
I am not sure from my answers for 3
