Possessive 's 📕

We use 's (apostrophe + s) to show that something belongs to someone.

Anna's car (the car that belongs to Anna)

my brother's job

the teacher's desk

Rules

Two people who own the same thing

Put 's only after the last name:

Tom and Lisa's flat (they share one flat)

Places and shops

We often drop the word for the place:

I'm going to the doctor's. (the doctor's office)

She is at Maria's. (Maria's home)

's or of?

We usually use 's with people and animals. We usually use of with things.

✓ my friend's name

✓ the name of the street

✗ the street's name

💡 Do not mix up 's (possessive) and s (plural). The teachers = more than one teacher. The teacher's = belonging to one teacher.
