In the case of the possesive pronoun “it” is very common to get confused with it’s what is the contraction of it is and its without ’ refers to a possesive pronoun something that belongs to it

Remember that practicing is VERY important! 👾
I don't understand well the apostrofe 's. Can anyone explain? I would appreciate it very much
Hi!Bobionwa :wave: Te lo explico en español. Hay dos tipos básicos de apóstrofes:
La manera más fácil de usarlos es en las contracciones. El apóstrofe muestra que dos palabras se han unido, y representa las letras que faltan, por ejemplo: They’re She’s who’s doesn’t
Los apóstrofes se usan también para mostrar quién es dueño de algo o que algo le pertenece a alguien o a un grupo.Ejemplo:
“The old man’s jacket is too small.” “He joined Charles’s household in June" Pero este último tiene su excepción al menos que sea una organización que termine en s no se le agrega, así: "St James’ hospital is now closed.”
Hi Bobionwa
Primarily, you could use 2 kinds of apostrophe
If the last letter is "s", you won't add another s; only use the apostrophe
Good luck and still practicing
Do you know him? He's Robert's teacher. This is my computer! Yours is over there!
++Resume:++ Something belongs to someone. Used without a noun. Vary according to the owner. Avoid repeating words.
- Possesive: Mine, yours, his, hers, its (isn't common), ours, yours, theirs
Another estructure: noun + of + noun + 's + noun Another one: of + possesive pronoun
No es rebundante usar dos "posesivos"? En la frase "John is a cousin of Cesar's". Si ya estamos empleando el "of", aclarando de quien es ¿ No es rebundante el " 's " ? En muchas series y diaogos en inglés no ponen esa " s " al final del nombre. Y no es correcto también decir " John is a cousin of him" ?
Muchas gracias por la aclaración ! El porfesor debería corregir esa parte de la clase, ya que el afirma que " John is a cousin of Cesar’s" está bien dicho y "John is cousin of Cesar" esta mal. De hecho en el examen pasa igual. Gracias !
Wow te diste cuenta de ese detalle del ejemplo, me desconcerto el resultado de esa pregunta en el examen, gracias!
Cesar is friend of Alita's Diego is boyfriend of Ale's Brayan is the pet of hers
Sofia is a sister of Claudia's Sofia is one of Cludia's sisters. Sofia is a sister of hers.
jessica is a sister of mine
I usually forget to make my bed, my father's bed is almost always maked, but mine pass all day long disordered until I remember (normally at the nigth) to make it.
If someone ask to me: where is my pen? Can I answer: your pen is over there, or in this case I also have to say: yours is over there? Which is the correct form?
They are the same!!, but it sounds better "Your's is over there", because it sounds redundant mentioning "pen" again.
Yoo, peep this—possessive pronouns don’t need no apostrophe. We write yours, not your’s, and hers, not her’s. Mad people get that wrong, even native speakers.
Yo, here’s a real native-speaker gem: we say ‘a friend of mine,’ not ‘a friend of me.’ And ‘a friend of John’s’ is actually correct, even though it sounds like double possessionWild, right?
Jack is one of Andrea’s dogs
Jack is a dog of Andrea´s
Jack is a dog of hers
Diego is one of my cousings Carolina is a sister of mine His car is white, mine is red My bicycle is gray, hers is red and black
Please, can someone tell me in these sentences which one would be correct or not: The car is his. It is his car The car of Cesar´s The car of his
The car is Cesar´s.
Correct: The car is his, It is his car. Wrong: The car of Cesar's (Correct// Cesar's car), The car of his (C// his car), The car is Cesar's (C// the car belongs to Cesar).
Thank you The car is his it is his car Cesar's car His car
i don't undestand why we have to use the "s" at the end
Hi PlatziNaut! 👋 We use possessive 's to say that something or someone belongs to a person.
I have the same doubt. I think it's redundant. Because says "of" before to "Mary". Because indicate the possession twice?
Wouldn't it be better to write have bought instead of just bought? I think that buying a car is an achivement and there is no information about the specific time it happened
All depend of the specific time in the past.
