POSSESSIVES : NOUNS
We use a noun with ’s with a singular noun to show possession:
We are having a party at Andy’s house.
Michael drove his brother’s car.
We use s’ with a plural noun ending in -s:
This is my parents’ house.
Those are ladies’ shoes.
But we use ’s with other plural nouns:
These are men’s shoes.
Children’s clothes are very expensive.
We can use a possessive instead of a noun phrase to avoid repeating words:
| Is that Andy’s car? | No, it’s Ani’s [car]. | > | No, it’s Ani’s. | |
| Whose coat is this? | It’s my brother’s [coat]. | > | It’s my brother’s. |
