How to form the genitive (possessive) case:

  • The general rule is to add an apostrophe plus the letter "s" to the possessor. For example, if a book belongs to Angela, we say it is Angela's book.
  • If the noun that indicates the possessor is plural, we need to pay attention to the way it ends. If it ends in "s", all we need is the apostrophe. If it is plural but does not end in "s", we should add it after the apostrophe. Example: boys' X men's.

What about possessive adjectives and pronouns?

  • Possessive adjectives must come before the noun that indicates what is owned by someone. Possessive pronouns must substitute that noun.
  • Possessive adjectives are:
  1. My
  2. Your
  3. His
  4. Her
  5. Its
  6. Our
  7. Their
  • Possessive pronouns are:
  1. Mine
  2. Yours
  3. His
  4. Hers
  5. Its
  6. Ours
  7. Theirs
  • Compare their use: This is my car. (adjective) X This car is mine. (pronoun)
