	Clive  +  499607 Sat, 12 Apr 08 03:44 AM Hi, what the differences between... There are many people in Melbourne who want to become involved in doing something for the river.” http://150.theage.com.au/view_bestofarticle.asp?straction=update&inttype=1&intid=781 The above just means a large number of persons.  ''Half a per cent in one hit would have done an extreme amount of damage to the stock market and many people's home loans.''” http://business.theage.com.au/stocks-down-on-rate-rise/20080304-1wok.html It's the possessive form, ie the home loans of or belonging to many people. Many peoples worry about losing their identity in the face of globalisation” http://www.theage.com.au/news/opinion/adieu-jeanpaul-adieu/2007/02/26/1172338542669.html The quote continues as follows. Many peoples worry about losing their identity in the face of globalisation. But opinion polls show that few fret about it more than the French. 'A people ' can be used to refer to the citizens of a country, eg the French people, the Chinese people, the Italian people. These three examples together can be referred to as 'three peoples'. Thus, many peoples means 'the citizens of many countries. That's a common thing to speak of when you are discussing globalization.   and what does "get rid" mean?? If you get rid of your TV set, it means you no longer have it. You may for example have given it to a friend, or put it in the garbage.    Best wishes, Clive   Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,670 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Articles, Possessives, Dates
