Let me see… Do you mean it this way?

Example: 

 There are 5 pages in a document (a term paper, a booklet, etc…) and you want to point to something on page 2. You may say the following:

Turn to page 2 of 5 

Was I able to answer your question?

Yeah!! You got my point!!!

I wasn't sure about that…but it's because one page forms part of something..so., we should use "0f" like a partitive, shouldn't we?

Thanks a million!! Smile
