'Daniel’s and Nikita’s family': Possessive again… Mon Nov 13, 2006 0:33 am  'Daniel’s and Nikita’s family': Possessive again…
 

Hi

Belatedly doing my homework (writing essay for tomorrow Smile)
I can’t write what I would like to write Smile

Imagine that you are talking about two brothers, Daniel and Nikita (in Russian 'Nikita' is a male name).
How to use possessive correctly for 'Daniel’s and Nikita’s family' (not using 'their')
?
