Possessive 's' (Unit 6)

[Filcanlas]

the red 's' is a possessive case and the blue 's' is a short form.

e.g. She's my Doctor. She's a Doctor. See the difference how 'my' and 'a' used.

Hello Torsten,
I've just read the short text, and I find that the blue 's' means 'is', and the red ones mean possessive.
By the way, the test about modal verbs has just finished, I scored a maximun mark.
thank you for your lesson.

Mr Torsten,
I've made a mistake in my message. I must type "The test has just been finished". This sentence must be in passive. That's right, isn't it?

Your results:
You have answered 8 questions out of 10 correctly.

[Saad71]

the red one concern possessive term, but the blue one concern the present tense. am sure

[Abdelhamid]

Dear Torsten, all teachers and learners.

I think the «s» is sometimes red because it is the possessive "s" and the «s» is sometimes blue because it is the short form of is.

Best regards.

Hello Mr. Torsten,
Thank you for your lessons.
I've finished the exercise about the articles, and it is so easy for me. I get 10/10 correct answers.
I also thank you for the reminder. I should practise E more regularly, I know. And I'm trying to do like that.
Thank you once more.

I think they are used to say that one person or thing belongs to another or it is connected to another where the apostrophe s(´s) works as a contraction.

Hi Torsten,
reds are possessive - her husband's name ...mean the name of her husband.
- Sara's boyfriend is... mean the boyfriend of Sara.

blue are short form of verb to be - She's 19 and she's student ... mean she is 19 and she is student.
