Prenominal vs postnominal genitive

 

Je správně A), B) nebo obojí k následující větě? Peter made Mary cakes but eventually has never given them to her.

  1. Some Mary’s cakes were decorated with chocolate bars.
  2. Some cakes of Mary’s were decorated with chocolate bars.

Když řeknete some Mary's cakes, tak vlastně říkáte cakes of some Mary, což je nesmysl.

Peter made Mary cakes but eventually has never given them to her isn't a valid sentence because if we use the word “eventually” (po určité době, nakonec) there is a clash of time references: po určité době jí je nikdy nedal (?? :-(( ).

  • Peter made Mary some cakes but they were so nice that he ate them all himself and eventually there were none left.
  • Peter wrote Mary a love poem last year but (he) has never given it to her.
  • Peter has written Mary a love poem but (he) has never given it to her.
  • Peter made Mary some cakes but never gave them to her. Some of them were decorated with chocolate. (Mluvíme o minulosti.)
  • Peter has made Mary some cakes but hasn't given them to her yet. Some of them are decorated with chocolate. (Mluvíme o přítomnosti.)

Děkuji moc za odpověď. Když to pozměním, je možné použít A) , B) nebo obojí po následující větě??

Peter made Mary some cakes but they were so nice that he ate them all himself and eventually there were none left.

  1. Mary’s cakes were decorated with chocolate bars.
  2. Some cakes of Mary’s were decorated with chocolate bars.

Obojí je teoreticky možné, ale když už víme, že koláče jsou pro Mary, zopakované slovo Mary's nebo of Mary's působí těžkopádně.

  • ..... eventually there were none left. The cakes nebo some of the cakes were decorated …
