Hello,
Is there any difference between these two phrases?
1. Time demands
2. Demands of the time
Thank you in advance |

Time demands
This can be ambiguous like the famous 'time flies'. In one interpretation, time is the subject and demands is the verb, in the other interpretation (the one you intend), time is the modifier and demands is a noun. |
