Language Focus

1. We can add ’s to names and singular nouns to show that something belongs to someone or something. This is called the possessive ’s.
                                      That isn’t Dylan’s dog.
                                      This shop’s prices are very low.

If something belongs to more than one person,  ’s goes on the last name only.

                                             Olivia and Ryan’s children.
                                             Olivia’s and Ryan’s children.

2. We use the words below in bold before nouns, to talk about who or what things belong to.
                                                             This is my family.
                                                             Is this your scarf?
                                                             This is his car.
                                                             Is this her cat?
                                                             These are their books.
                                                             We love our house.
                                                             I saw a cheap dress, but its colour was horrible.

Be careful:
sometimes ’s is a short form of is.
                                   Tom’s a doctor. (’s = is)
                                   This is Tom’s bag. (’s = belongs to Tom)
