Possessive cases
A noun goes before the apostrophe s.
The children’s room is upstairs.
Mario’s backpack is dirty.
My father’s car is white.
However, if the meaning is clear, we can use without a noun after it:
My house is smaller than Steve’s. (Steve’s house)
Whose backpack is this? It’s Mario’s. (Mario’s backpack)
WHOSE
In the last example, we use whose to ask for the owner of a thing or to know who possesses something.
Here are more examples. Check the form with the noun (singular or plural):
Whose is this book? It’s Mario’s.
Whose are these pencils? They’re Karla’s.
WHOSE
It is crucial that you know that means:
• Possessive:
My brother’s office is downtown. (his office)
• Not a Possessive:
My brother’s an engineer. (the short form of is)
When we talk about a thing the preposition ‘of’ is used. For example:
The leg of the table.
The windows of the house.
