• I can use the possessive  in sentences (gebruiken)

Possesive / bezit:

Hoe zeg je dat iets van jou of iemand anders is

Is this possessive?: She's a doctor.

1. Yes
2. No

Does this sentence contain the posessive?:

1. yes
2. no

Is the 's a genitive or short for 'is'?
My cat's whiskers are long.

1. Possessive
2. Is

Is the 's a genitive or short for 'is'?
He's my best friend.

1. Possessive
2. Is

Possessive / bezit

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

Beide 's lijken hetzelfde, maar let op!

In zin 1, 's is kort voor is. 

In zin 2, 's is een vorm van bezit

Possessive / bezit

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

Nogmaals;

In zin 1, 's is kort voor is.

In zin 2, 's is een vorm van bezit

.

In het Engels geef je bezit op 3 verschillende manieren aan:
