got a grammar question i'm getting confused here i know i know it but my brain is becoming fuddled and i can[t work out which it should be ffs i'm ready to scream

should it be

Originally this road had a very affluent reputation the shops catered for the members’ of society that had their town houses in the area

or should it be

Originally this road had a very affluent reputation the shops catered for the member's of society that had their town houses in the area

or even

Originally this road had a very affluent reputation the shops catered for the members ' of society that had their town houses in the area

That's what I would write. I am fond of a semi colon but it seems superfluous in this text.

A seaside town near you!

Putting an apostrophe before the s adds a word I.e. member's is 'that member is'

Members is the word you need but you end a comma after the word reputation

Yeah, I think I was being a bit ambitious with it there. Full stop is better.

I would agree that this is the most satisfactory option:

the word "members" does not need an apostrophe, but you do need a punctuation pause after "reputation".

"Originally this road had a very affluent reputation; the shops catered for the members of society that had their town houses in the area."

Perhaps "Originally this road had a very affluent reputation; the shops catered for the members of society WHO had their town houses in the area."

I share the concern about an 'affluent' reputation. A reputation for affluence perhaps.

An affluent reputation?

Can a reputation be wealthy?
