Espeland  +  420984 Wed, 19 Sep 07 11:02 AM Hello everybody, what does "in the common" mean ? The swimming pool on the common is open all the year round. Does it mean that the possession of the swimming pool is shared by several people or is "in the common" equal to an adverb like "in general" ? Thank you in advance for any help. :-) Espeland Joined on Fri, Jul 13 2007 Switzerland New Member 45 Verbs, Adverbs
