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

[@leticialins6347]

I already know this, but I felt that I have to watch more videos about the topic to teach my students. Thank you so much! The way you teach is incredible!

[@micahwekesa3643]

This is user friendly like .to the point

[@ak7470]

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

[@alexandrepolo9717]

It's all clear now. Thanks a bunch for this wonderful explanation! Now I am going to my friend's to discuss it. ;)

[@drsayidalihachi6761]

also i will go to do so IA

[@rentic888]

Good job, what i learned in 6.25 min here, is equivalent to an hour's reading of Wren and Martin's grammar book, with more clarity, a time saver video!

Same here Wren and Martin's book

Thank you so much.❤️❤️❤️ You are my very beatful and lovely teacher👍👍❤️❤️😘

[@marcogaiotto2028]

Thanks a lot for your video! What about "the name of my school" and "my school's name"? Are they both correct? Thank you once again!

[@englishbuff1096]

Both options are possible. The first one is more formal, the second one is more colloquial.

[@kevinortiz120]

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]

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.

[@inbcetc3569]

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]

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

[@zakariiraillen2559]

Hello ! I came across your video and I have a question, I read somewhere '...the pilot license..." why not "the pilot's license", thank you.

[@englishbuff1096]

The second option is also possible, it's just not so common.

[@zakariiraillen2559]

[@nori_tutor]

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]

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.

Very satisfying video!!!

[@garrido_jaimei]

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

[@arzurehimova4781]

Thank you very much

[@aguinaldowilson7539]

Amazing lecture thank you

[@rlworldoftanksblitz6414]

Thank you. You are so great understanding

[@lazybaby525]

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]

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').

[@LucasFerreira-ss8yq]

That's exactly what i was looking for. Thx for this video.

[@nori_tutor]

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]

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

[@nori_tutor]

[@santosfamilyaroundtheworld3280]

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!

[@englishbuff1096]

Hi there! You can find these rules in any Advanced English Grammar Book 🙂

[@sumayosaid6537]

Thank you

[@unknownbrazilian1734]

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]

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".

[@englishbuff1096]

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