    This document discusses possessive nouns in English that use an apostrophe ('s) to indicate possession without needing a possessive adjective. It explains that the general form is noun + 's + the thing possessed. It provides examples like "My mother's name" and "His father's an excellent person." For plural nouns, the form is plural noun + ' + the thing possessed, like "The students' school." Finally, it notes that for nouns ending in s, both singular and plural forms can be used, like "Carlos's dog" or "Carlos' dog."

    Possessive Nouns (´S)

    SON EXPRESIONES EN INGLÉS


    QUE LLEVAN UN APOSTROFE (’)
    Y UNA “S”, DESPUÉS DE UN
    SUJETO, PARA INDICAR
    POSESIÓN SIN NECESITAR UN
    ADJETIVO POSESIVO.
    How does it works?

    ! Noun + ’ + S + possession
    Examples:

    My mother’s name is Malena


    Her boyfriend’s parents are kind.
    The student’s book is very interesting
    Easy to get confused with so better contextualize

    !  My mother’s in the backyard


    !  My mother’s party is on Monday

    !  The puppy’s sick


    !  The puppy’s owner is a doctor

    !  His father’s an excellent person


    !  His father’s granpa is from Italy
    What happen whe the noun is a plural?

    ! Plural noun + ’ + possession

    !  The students’ school is gigantic


    !  The cats’ food is in the fridge
    !  The parents’ sons are extremely intelligent
    What about names that ends in S?

    !  Uses both ways just be careful with the


    pronunciation.

    !  Carlos’s dog
    !  Carlos’ dog
    !  Andres’ brother
    !  Andres’s brother
