Can I displace” a lawer's office“ to”a lawer office“ ?Thanks.
I am studying New Concept English2 . In lesson 14,there's a sentence'Tony worked in a lawyer's office.'""He worked in a lawyer's office" is correct and you are talking about an office possesed/owned by a lawyer, making the office his/hers. "

Is the comment above right?If I want to describe that an office where some lawyers work in.Should I also use ‘a lawyer's office'?

Answer

Well, a lawyer's office is usually in a law firm, if that's what you need.

Answer

No, I would leave the sentence as written.

Answer

I understand now，Thanks for your answers.

Answer

You cannot replace or sustitute "a lawyer's office" with "a lawyer office".
Other similar expressions showing the possesive form of the office belonging to a professional includes:   a dentist's office / a doctor's office / an engineer's office.

You can also say " a law firm's office".
