Possessive Case of Nouns


The possessive case shows ownership. With the addition of ’s (or sometimes just the apostrophe), a noun can change from a simple person, place, or thing to a person, place, or thing that owns something. There are a few different ways to form the possessive of a noun. We’ll discuss these ways below.

If the noun doesn’t end with an s, add ’s to the end of the noun. See the following examples:
This is Mary and her dog. The dog is Mary’s pet; Mary is not the dog’s pet.
This thick curtain is capable of shutting out the summer sun’s heat and light.
This is the way to the men’s room.
She got a job in the children’s section of the library.
Do we add another s for the possessive form of a name ending with s? Which is correct, Chris’s chair or Chris’ chair? James’s car or James’ car? Actually, both ways are correct. If a proper name ends with an s, you can add just the apostrophe or an apostrophe and an s. See the examples below for an illustration of this type of possessive noun.
You’re sitting in Chris’ chair.
You’re sitting in Chis’s chair.
Have you seen James’ car?
Have you seen James’s car?
Where is Jess’ book bag?
Where is Jess’s book bag?
I’m in Ms. Jones’ class this year.
I’m in Ms. Jones’s class this year.
But when you have a plural noun that ends in s, add just the apostrophe. This is also true when you have a proper noun that’s plural.
If you have a compound noun (for example, when you’re talking about two people who jointly own one thing), change only the last noun to the possessive. The examples below illustrate this usage of the possessive case.
Mike and Amanda’s new loft apartment is really neat.
Please tell Annie and Mary’s mother that they’ll be late getting home from school.
If the possessor is a building, an object, or a piece of furniture, you don’t need to add an apostrophe to show possession. See the examples below for reference

 10.10.2020. Culturestudy Lesson 6 Theme: Portrait of a british family. Family traditions and values. Read the text and answer the questions Family The average British family has classically been understood as a  nuclear family  with their extended family living separately. However, today the archetypical family (husband, wife and children) can no longer be the exact social expectation. In the UK, one in three people is a step-parent, step-child, adult step-child, step-sibling or step-grandparent. According to the Office for National Statistics, more children are being raised in single parent households. Also, as the stigma associated with premarital intercourse has diminished, the number of unwed mothers has increased. Families are increasingly incorporating  LGBTQI + relationships. As such, children of same-sex couples are becoming more common.  However, while the traditional archetypal British family structure is no longer an expected cultural standard, the family remains fundamenta
