| Thanks Jamie, however, as I imagine, a transcript is somewhat a bit more detailed than what I am mentioning about. A transcript can contain much more information than the marks I got for subjects I had learned while the paper i am talking about merely contain the marks in it. It's like a reference to the marks only, but I am not sure if you guys have it in English countries, please? |

You are probably talking about a certificate, or short, a cert.

| Whoops, it turns out that the word cert is not short for certificate, right? Thanks Shyone, I suppose I am talking about something different. What I am talking about is a paper that only represents my study results in terms of the marks I got for subjects only, e.g, it has a title of study result and subject A - 10, subject B - 9,...etc. So do you imagine what it is, please? |

Yes! That is your academic TRANSCRIPT! For example, my transcripts from undergraduate and graduate school contain only my subjects, my grades and my date of graduation. There is no other information on them. In fact, I can't imagine what other information they could contain.
Sorry, K1ingk0ng, but I know EXACTLY what you're talking about, and it's called a transcript. If you want to be very specific, you can call it an academic transcript. |

Grade, report or certificate can be used for the paper you're describing.

It's called memorandum of marks in India. Must have got that from British. I checked it now but found it has no such meaning. That meaning seems to have faded out.

That's understandable. There are a lot of obsolete British terms that are still used in Asian countries where English is co-official. My favorite is "school servant". That term would not today be used in any of the primary English-speaking countries. In fact, it would be insulting. |

How is the sequence of words when I use "S" refering things or titles belonging to a person. Which cases I have to use it and how to.
I Have written some examples that I would like to know if they are correct. Would you please give me more examples and to explain why it was in that order, that is,
what come first? Is there a rule about this?
e.g: The yellow house of my uncle. My uncle's yellow house. is it correct ?
The son of principal school - The principal school's son. ?
Thanks a lot

The son of principal school - The principal school's son. ? No. This means the son belongs to the school. I think you mean that the son belongs to the principal of the school, 'The school principal's son.
Thanks a lot

Sueli,
What you're asking about it called 'showing possession', or the possessive case. One way of showing possession is by using 's. The ' mark is called an apostrophe.
The 's. is used to mark the noun showing possession, and is followed by the noun that is possessed. The word order is important, with the thing being possessed following the thing showing ownership.
The cat's food (The food belongs to the cat.)
The food's cat (The cat belongs to the food - this doesn't make sense).
The uncle's yellow house (The yellow house belongs to my uncle)
The yellow house's uncle (The uncle belongs to the yellow house - doesn't make sense)
The school principal's son (The son belongs to the principal)
The principal school's son (The son of the principal school - doesn't make sense)
To form the possessive case of a singular noun, add 's
Ex. cat's food, boy's ball, tree's shade, bus's route
To form the possessive case of a plural noun which ends in 's' add '
Ex. buses' routes, trees' shade, man's clothes.
To form the possessive case of a plural noun which doesn't end in 's', add 's to the plural form.
Ex. men's clothing, people's wishes, geese's honking
