Formation The possessive case is formed in two ways: –with ‘s for people and animals e.g.: Jim’s flat –with the preposition of for things the legs of the table the cat’s eyes

This is John. These are John’s parents. We use the possessive case: –to show that something belongs to somebody. e.g. Mary’s bag, John’s ball –to explain the relationship between two or more people. e.g. Tom’s uncle, Peter’s friend –to talk about shops and houses. e.g. He’s at the baker’s (baker’s shop) They’re at Bob’s. (Bob’s house)

Formation Singular nouns or proper nouns take ‘s. e.g.: the boy’s ball, Emily’s car –When the proper name ends in –s we add ‘s or only an apostrophe (‘). e.g. Doris’s hat or Doris’ hat Plural nouns ending in -s take ‘(apostrophe) e.g. the girls’ house Irregular plural nouns take ‘s. e.g.: the men’s boat

Possession / Possessor Same thing belongs to two or more people we add ‘s only to the last noun Paul and Tina’s house (The house belongs to both of them)

Possession / Possessor Two or more things belong to two or more people (and we want to show that each person has his/her own thing) we add ‘s to each noun Mary’s and Tom’s roller skates (Each has his/her roller skates)

Asking about possession When we want to know to whom something belongs we use the question word whose Whose horse is this? It’s Helen’s. (It’s Helen’s horse)
