Possessives

Possessive / Genitive

                           She's a docter    vs.    John's wife is French

Both 's look the same at first glance, but they are not!

In the first sentence, 's is short for is. 

But in the second sentence, 's is a form of the genitive

Possessive / Genitive

                 He's my best friend    vs.    My cat's whiskers are long

Again, in the first sentence, 's is short for is

But in the second sentence, 's is possessive = genitive

Possessive  's: Drag the sentence to is if 's = is

Drag the sentence to possessive if 's = possessive

is
