    Possesives

    Forming the possessives


    • The possessive form is used with nouns • the car of John = John's car
    referring to people, groups of people,
    countries, and animals. It shows a • the room of the girls = the girls'
    relationship of belonging between one room
    thing and another. To form the possessive,
    add apostrophe + s to the noun. If the noun • clothes for men = men's clothes
    is plural, or already ends in s, just add an
    apostrophe after the s. • the boat of the sailors = the
    sailors' boat
    Other things to use it

    For names ending in s, you can either add an apostrophe + s, or just an apostrophe. The first option
    is more common. When pronouncing a possessive name, we add the sound /z/ to the end of the
    name.
    Examples
    Thomas's book (or Thomas' book)
    James's shop (or James' shop)
    the Smiths's house (or the Smiths' house)
    Functions of the possesive
    Belonging to' or 'ownership' is the most common relationship the possessive expresses.

    Examples
    John owns a car. = It is John's car.
    America has some gold reserves. = They are America's gold reserves.

    The possessive can also express where someone works, studies or spends time
    Examples
    John goes to this school. = This is John's school.
    John sleeps in this room. = This is John's room.
    The possessive can express a relationship
    between people. • Fixed expressions
    Examples • There are also some fixed expressions where the
    John's mother is running late. possessive form is used.

    The possessive can express intangible • a month's pay
    things as well. • today's newspaper
    Examples
    • in a year's time
    John's patience is running out.
    • Other examples
    The politician's hypocrisy was deeply
    shocking. • For God's sake! (= exclamation of exasperation)
    • a stone's throw away (= very near)
    • at death's door (= very ill)
    • in my mind's eye (= in my imagination)
    The possessive is also used to refer to
    shops, restaurants, churches and colleges,
    using the name or job title of the owner.

    DEMONSTRATIVE DETERMINERS
    THIS, THAT, THESE AND THOSE
    We use this/that/these/those to explain what we are talking about. We
    sometimes use them with nouns and we sometimes use them on their
    own.

    We also use the demonstrative determiners when
    we introduce someone or ask for someone over the
    phone, using the constructions This is.../These
    are... and Is that...?, respectively:

    Hello ? Is that Sarah? No, it´s her

    What is the function of the demonstrative determiners?
    In order to know if the demonstrative acts as an adjective or a pronoun, it is
    important to consider the following aspects:
    When the demonstrative is accompanied by a noun, it is categorized as
    an adjective because it determines the element we are talking about.
