Possessive Case
Притяжательный падеж
Притяжательный падеж используется для обозначения того, что что-то кому-то принадлежит.
При этом к существительному в ед. числе добавляется -‘s (апостроф).
The boy’s radio
John Stanis’s books
The ladies’ hats Но: children’s toys, the men’s club
John’s and Mary’s cars
John and Mary’s car
My sister Helen’s children
Выражение в притяжательном падеже всегда можно заменить выражением с предлогом of.
The Gloria’s handbag - the handbag of Gloria
Существуют два способа образования формы притяжательного падежа:
1. к существительным в единственном числе; прибавляется s после апострофа в конце слова:
father's car => папина машина;
my mother's room => мамина комната;
a woman's dress => платье (какой-то) женщины;
a week's rest => недельный отдых
2. к существительным во множественном числе с -s в конце; ставится только апостроф после всего слова;
на произношение никак не влияет:
girls' room => комната девочек;
my friends' car => машина моих друзей;
ten days' rest => десятидневный отдых
Примечание:
если существительное образует множественное число не прибавлением -s в конце слова, а меняет всю форму то притяжательный падеж строится способом 1:
woman — women's dresses => платья женщин;
man — men's cars => автомобили мужчин;
child — children's bedroom => спальня детей
