[@Nutella55]

Wow, I have been searching for this answer FOREVER! I tutor Germans in conversation English and they always mess this up, like saying "The friend of my mother plays tennis." I would tell them it's "My mother's friend plays tennis" but I couldn't explain why. Thank you!

[@akramkarom4066]

[@malbatan1]

Thx. I have a question what a bout an object the belongs tô other, like car and Key, should i say car's Key or Key of the car?

[@umerbhat6279]

Key of the car is correct because we use (of )for showing possession or ownership of non living things.

[@bangchaunguyen5470]

Thanks very much. This is a great lesson.

[@sergeymaltzeff2481]

It is very important to have the correct possessive pronoun for the object you are describing, because the pronoun will replace the entire object itself

[@jasonvoorhees889]

This video was very useful for me thank you

[@gopalakrishnan5895]

This Chapter is 👌 🌲. You are a Brilliant Faculty

[@damas9820]

[@tessmudr8292]

Hello! Thank you for the video! Is the phrase "the meeting of this morning" also possible (though less natural, oh course)?

[@franciagiraldorodriguez13]

Hi Alicia, Please let me know which alternative is correct: 1-) 21 century's skills 2-) 21 century skills 3-) skills of the 21 century 4-) skills for the 21 century Thanks, Jose

[@greywizard3859]

I've been looking for a video like this for a long time and finally I could find it. But still something confuses me. The thing is, as you said before "The mountain top" and "The top of the Mountain" all of them are correct but while speaking I can't choose which one would be better in the context. I think, when we use 'of version' the meaning has a little emphasise right? That's why you said "generally using 'of' is a bit formal". I hope I could transfer what I meant. Thanks in advance! (By the way, I'm from Turkey and we have the same situation in turkish let me give an example: Dağın zirvesi -> The top of the Mountain Dağ zirvesi -> The mountain top I hope someone can reply on my message. Because I've been waiting an answer to this question for a long time... Thanks! )

[@anabhio_cristiano]

About holidays Alisha? Should we use 's? For example: father's day? Thank you a lot!

[@greywizard3859]

Yes that's also true. For example: Mother's day, father's day, teacher's day etc. I think these expressions belong to the part of 'commonly used with time period' It emphasizes a specific day...

[@panesso99]

Tengo mis dudas ´s en este caso of no cambia el sentido de la oración .

[@saqibalichohan5571]

Nice Way of teaching

[@AgustinGonzalez-pv9qh]

Awesome . Thanks a lot

[@sharonshih3792]

[@joselias5433]

Thank you for your class teacher, I’ve learned much with this video, you’d should come to Mexico for give us classes 😅

[@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!

[@relaxationandmeditation8060]

So good

[@habalgarmin]

I asked chatGPT about using 's with a time period. It answered: "it's not appropriate to use the possessive form "morning's" to refer to a meeting that takes place in the morning. In English, it's more common to simply use the noun "morning" as a modifier in a noun phrase, rather than using the possessive form"

[@jaimebarrantesmoscoso7386]

Hey in which cases don't we have to use neither apostrophe nor of. Like in the mountain top

[@yasameenalradhwi674]

Thank you so mush

[@nadezhdachernova9534]

Hello! What’s about the family links like “my mother’s grandpa”? Moreover we use ‘s not only with objects, character traits and appearance but also in other situations like: “My daughter’s name is Jessica”.

Hello Maam!you teach well and I trust your video, but I hope u can "type" your visual aids in a big size where audience can easily seen it,For example while you're teaching it automatically appeared on the screen ,Visual has a higher percentage (other than other senses) to help student learn effectively.I actually did not finished your lesson due to the barrier.But thanks for your effort I appreciate it.♥️

[@odayalmalky2546]

thank u

[@wellington5397]

In phrases like "water bottle" or "body part" etc why neither ['s] nor "of" are used? That confuses me a lot 🤯. Thanks in advance

[@1duducm]

This is an attributive noun

[@giselavilares]

Thanks! But I have a doubt, is it incorrect to say "the group leader" ?
