Grammar

Usando o 's como possessivo

Já vimos na lição 13 como usar pronomes possessivos (his, her, their, etc).

Agora vamos ver com usar o apóstrofo + s para indicar posse.

Examples

Jane's car is very expensive.	O carro de Jane é caro.
My friend's house is in New York.	A casa do meu amigo fica em Nova Iorque.
The boy's toy is in the park.	O brinquedo do menino está no parque.
The boys' toys are in the park.	Os brinquedos dos meninos estão no parque.
The boys' toy is in the park.	O brinquedo dos meninos está no parque.

Observações!

1. Se a palavra termina em s, apenas colocamos o apóstrofo, sem ser seguido de s novamente, como o 4º exemplo.
2. Note também que a ordem em inglês é inversa. Para "O carro de Jane" em inglês fica "Jane's car".
3. Cuidado para não confundir s de plural com s de possessivo.
