The Apostrophe S - ('S) | Possessive Case - Genitive Case

We use the possessive case of nouns or pronouns when we want to talk about our belongings. If I want to say that the cat belongs to Jack, I say: 'This is Jack's cat'. Apostrophe S - identifies the possession. Watch this video if you want to know more.

This is the best video that treats Genitive case I found. Thanks

Good video. I would only add that the pronunciation of those names ending in S needs to be modified. Example: James' house.

@kevinortiz120 10 ай бұрын

Love this! I have a question wich is not really about this topic. What is the difference between car wheels vs The wheels of the car ? Village church vs church of the Village? So the pages of the book would be book pages?

@englishbuff1096 4 ай бұрын

That’s a good question. Let’s take a book as an example. We say “book pages” when referring to the physical sheets of paper within a book, while "pages of the book" can refer to the content or specific sections within the book.

@nori_tutor 2 жыл бұрын

Wait, we don't use the apostrophe to indicate an object, building or furniture's ownership. But then you wrote "The windows of the house"? Why not "The house windows"?

@elderscrollsswimmer4833 2 жыл бұрын

Because you need the of-genitive for the head of state and the like. Also, it's handy when you translate from a language that actually uses genitive case. Or try the teach said language.

If I should use apostrophe S with a certain place or time, so should I always say "I'm at the bakery's" instead of "I'm at the bakery?"

@englishbuff1096 Жыл бұрын

Both are fine. Just pay attention that I'm at the baker's but NOT "bakery's"

It's a bit confusing because I saw in another video that we don't use aps s when there are collective nouns like: men, women, children, people...

@hrleinad 2 жыл бұрын

AFAIK; men, women and children are not collective nouns; and people is collective only in certain cases. You can, in some cases, say: "The people is", but you can never say "The men/women/children is". "Plural nouns" is not the same thing as "collective nouns".

Thank you. Why the "car door" at 5:07 but the "wheels of the car" at 5:21? (Why not the door of the car and the car wheels?)

@englishbuff1096 Жыл бұрын

Both options are possible. We can say the door of the car and the car door. But the car door is more common.

Hi there, Yana! Congrats on the nice video. Where are you from? I'm just asking because I got some questions about what you were explaining at 5:53. I had never seen those rules. Might it be a regional rule from your country maybe? Cause I've been watching lots of videos from lots of teachers but never saw those examples you taught. Thank you in advance!

А в примере он читает "джемиз" James' company, а не джемис компани. Так как правильно их читать? Когда прочитал на уроке Bess' dress, мне сказали, что бэс дрэс читать неправильно, что надо бэсиз дрэс

@englishbuff1096 Жыл бұрын

That’s a good question. To avoid the confusion between the name and possession, more and more people opt to say JamZIZ for both options (James's / James').

Both of them are correct and equally acceptable. Personally, I prefer the first option, but it's up to you.
