Brief introduction


Language focus:
Grammar: Possessive ‘s
Vocabulary: Family words

Skill focus:
Listening, Reading and Speaking

Objectives:
To know how to use possessive case
To enrich a set of vocabulary about family
To develop skills through language activities
The possessive case
-
We normally use ‘s and s’ for people and some living creatures.
+ Personal names: Jone’s car
+ Personal nouns: the doctor’s blouse
+ Indefinite pronouns: anyone’s guest
+ Collective nouns: the army’s advance, the committee’s decision
+ Higher animals: the horse’s stable
+ Some lower animals: an ant’s net, a bee’s sting
The possessive appears before the noun it refers to. However, it can
be used without a noun as well.
Ex: I will go in Frank’s car and you can go in Alan’s
Notes
-
Add ‘s to singular nouns and to names not ending in –s
Ex: a child’s dream; John’s new job
If two names are joined by and, add ‘s to the second
Ex: John and Mary’s house

-
Add ‘s to singular nouns ending in –s
Ex: an actress’s
-
Add ‘s to irregular plural nouns
Ex: children’s game
-
Add an apostrophe (‘) after the s of regular plurals
Ex: boys’ school
NOTES
-
We don’t normally use ‘s with non-living things. We use OF when
referring to:
+ things: the shade of the tree
+ parts of things: the bottom of the box
+ abstract reference: the cost of living
-
We can say : a man’s voice = the voice of a man
Omission of the noun after ’s
and s’
-
A noun that is implied: We need a ladder. We can
borrow our neighbour’s
-
Where someone lives: I stay at my aunt’s
-
Shops and businesses: the butcher’s
-
Medical practitioners: the doctor’s
-

Referring to well-known stores: Harrods, Macys
