It's because one s indicates someone's possession and another one indicates current occupation of someone.
Please iam not so familiar with possessive nouns.
Thank you.

Hi Torsten,

First at all thank you for the sixth lesson that I've found very useful-

The blue ('s) are abbreviation of verb "to be" while the red ones are genitive form (possessive)

Hi Torsten,

For my understanding the reds are possessive
and the blue ones are short forms of He is and she is

Thank you.

Dear Torsten,

The blue "s" is the abbreviated form of the "to be" verb in singular 3.person

For exp:
1.He's very handsome.
She's very beautiful.
It's raining.

The red "s" is possessive "s":

For.exp:
My daughter's children are very clever.
Hungary's capital is Budapest.

Best wishes:
