Hello, teachers.
I think "today's many politicians " sounds odd and it should be "many politicians of today " or "many of today's politicians" or "many of politicians today" .
Am I wrong?
Thank you in advance!

"today's many politicians" is a meaningful phrase. However, I don't think that it is what you want to mean, and that phrase doesn't mean what the other phrases you asked about mean.
"today's many politicians" refers to 'all of the many politicians that there are today'.
"many politicians of today" (good)
"many of today's politicians" (good)
"many of politicians today" (not good) Say, 'many of the politicians today'. |
