Possessive ‘s

Als je wilt zeggen dat iets van iemand is, gebruik je in het Engels de bezits-s ook wel apostrof ’s genoemd:
 
That is my friend’s book.  Dat is het boek van mijn vriend(in).
These are Vincent’s sisters.  Dit zijn Vincents zussen.
Are you Susan’s sister?  Ben jij de zus van Susan?
The dog’s tail  De staart van de hond.
My class’s teacher is nice.  De leraar van mijn klas is aardig.

The men’s toilet is disgusting.  Het toilet van de heren/het herentoilet is smerig.

These are the children's toys.

Pay attention!

Bij meervoudsvormen die eindigen op een “s” schrijf je alleen een apostrof ‘.
My parents’ car  de auto van mijn ouders.

The girls’ coats  de jassen van de meisjes.

Bij namen die eindigen op een "s", mag je kiezen of je 's of alleen een ' gebruikt.

Charles’s parents & Charles' parents betekenen dus allebei de ouders van Charles en zijn beiden goed.

(Officieel krijgen klassieke of religieuze namen die eindigen op een s alleen een '. )

Sophocles' plays are still performed today.

Maar dit hoef je nog niet te weten :-)

Grammar Practice

You are going to practise some more with was/were. You may do so together with your neighbour if you like. I would like both of you to write down all answers. Either in a Word document or in a notebook (schrift).

We will check and discuss them the next lesson.

Homework Monday the 14th of February

- Finish this LessonUp lesson. Make sure you finish checking your homework (slides 21-26) and making the exercises in slides 29 & 30.

- Repeat and study all grammar subjects of unit 3 & 4. I want you to check if you understand all topics. Write down any questions you might still have. Monday is your last chance to ask me these questions.

- Also repeat all the words of Unit 3 & 4.

You can find explanations about the grammar, including extra practice sites and the word lists in Som at the date of the test. Please know where to find me if you need help!

Need extra information or practice?

If you are still having difficulties with was/were/wasn't/weren't, read the information on  the next slide and practise some more.

Good luck!
