Hi, is this sentence correct?
I am going out with my friend's uncle's daughter.
Can two apostrophes be used like this? If they can, what is it called. I can't find anything on the Internet.
Thank you!
More than one apostrophe S for possession.

Re: More than one apostrophe S for possession.
Yes, you can. Theoretically, at least, there is no limit to the number of possessives that may be strung together in this way.
