Hi everybody, In the above given text: The "s" in red shows the possesive case e.g. Maria's younger brother is a student of doctorate. That means that Maria has a younger brother who is studying in Phd. While the "s" in blue is a short form of helping verb is. e.g. He's a doctor and runs his private clinic. Here he's means he is.
Thanks |

dear torsten I realy agree I think the blue ones are abbreviated versions of he is --> becomes he's she is --> becomes she's
the red ones show that you have to add -'s to build genitive forms, possessives
f.e.: the boy's father is working for the government.
I hope there's (there is) no error involved in naufragis' examples |

Hi Torsten, my name is Lubos Cechvala and Iīm from Slovakia. English is my third language, my second foreign language after German. This year I will do my school leaving exam in English and therefore I have to do as many exercises as possible to be successful in it. I find your lessons very useful for me. I didnīt score in the tests very high,probably, I overrated myself. As I see I have big gaps in grammar and, particularly, in listening. When I watch a film in English I simply canīt understand many of those words, although, I know them. Therefore, I really appreciate Sueīs listeninig exercises I hope itīll gradually help me with understanding more and more words while watching english films.. I really thank you for your lessons, best regards Lubos |

Hi Torsten
The Blue ones are short form of IS, and red ones are Possessive S.

The red s is possessive that defines the next noun. The blue s is the abbreviation of be-verb. |

| Because sometimes is to said is but not write it and sometimes is to say is belong to or else is relative to the person that we are talking about. |
