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 muito 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.

1. Don ___ car is in the garage.

3. The women ___ husbands are late.
4. My friends ___ sisters are beautiful.
