OBJ: TALKING ABOUT JOBS IN THE COMMUNITY BY MAKING THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN:
A) POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES
B) THE POSSESSIVE CASE (‘S OR S’)
IN ENGLISH WE HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS TO EXPRESS THE POSSESSION; THE
FIRST ONE IS BY USING THE POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES (MY, YOU, HIS, HER, ETC.)
AND THE OTHER IS BY USING THE POSSESSIVE CASE ‘S / S’
POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES
*POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES ARE USED
BEFORE NOUNS
F: POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE + NOUN
EX:
MY NAME . . .
HIS CAR . . .
OUR HOUSES . . .
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO
POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES WITH
SIMILAR FORMS OF THE VERB TO BE
EX:
ITS WITH NO APOSTROPHE =
POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE
IT’S WITH APOSTROPHE = THE VERB
TO BE
POSSESSIVE CASE
*THE POSSESSIVE CASE IS USED
AFTER SOME NOUNS OR NAMES.
F: OWNER + ‘S + POSSESSION
EX:
MY BROTHER’S NAME . . . (HIS NAME . .
.)
JUAN’S PENCIL . . . (HIS PENCIL)
*THIS HAS A SIMILAR MEANING AS THE
POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES: IN SPANISH
IS SIMILAR TO “EL NOMBRE DE MI
HERMANO” OR (EL LAPIZ DE JUAN)
ATTENTION!
*WE ADD ‘S AT THE END OF SINGULAR
NOUNS THAT DON’T END WITH AN –S
EX: MARIA’S PEN
ARTURO’S CAR
*WHEN THE NOUNS IS IN PLURAL
FORM AND ENDS WITH AN –S; WE ADD
ONLY THE APOSTROPHE.
EX:
THE BOYS’ TOYS – (INCORRECT
FORM)THE BOYS’S TOYS
THE GIRLS’ DOLL – (INCORRECT
FORM) THE GIRLS’S DOLL
BUT, WHEN THE NOUN IS PLURAL
FORM AND DOESN’T END WITH AN –S
WE ADD THE NORMAL FORM.
EX: THE MEN’S (PLURAL FORM OF
MAN) CAR
THE PERSON’S MONEY
