Possessive 's' (Unit 6)

[Al]

the possessive is red

[RainyLondon]

Em, well, the difference is that the red 's's (???) are used to express someone's 'possesions'.
Her husband's name is Tom (That isn't a short form for any word)
On the other hand, the blue ones are used as a short form for is;
She's a student = She is a student
And, well. That's it.
Thank you, Rosario.

P.S: I'm in my sixth lesson, and in the test (the one of modal verbs) I made 10 questions out of 10, so that's great,
I remember in a test last year I didn't know that those verbs were called 'modal verbs' and I had to complete the blanks with some words so it said, for example:
You ............... (modal verb + to park) your car here.
And you had to write: You can't park your car here, and I wrote:
You can't MODALLY park your car here.
That's why I didn't pass the exam. Anyway, I should be quite proud because you entered to the high school with 6.84 and I got a 6.82, and besides there were children who got notes below from 4 and they took a course all the year long and they had read two english books (I was supoussed to read them too, but no one had told me that, actually I had read one of the books, but in spanish, and It was a different version). That's the reason why I'm quite 'proud', because either way... I got a great note!!

Possesive "S" are marked in red colour.

[Hamidachekzai]

Hello,

The blue one is verb:

She's = she is
He's = he is

the red one show the ownership or possession.

Thanks

I think blue ones are the contracted forms and red shows the possessive 's'.

[Rahat]

What I meant was: the blue ones are the contracted form of verb 'is'.

[Marjan]

Dear Torsten
i think the red one reffer to pessessive and the blue one reffer to tobe verb( short form of is)

[Unur]

Dear Torsten,

Blue is verb to be. Red is possessive. There is Anna's photo. Anna's husband is Frank. He is an engineer. Their dauther is Sarah. Sarah is 19.Jeremy is her boyfriend.He is an accountant.

Sincerely
B.Unur,

hello every body,
concerning the blue "s" is the short form of the verb to be in a simple present tense.
but the red one is the possessive; ex: john's book is red.
it's red.

[Alla_r]

Dear Torsten,

In the text possessive "S" is marked red, blue marked "S" is the short form of the verb to be.

I pass the test (modal verbs)and result of it - 4 incorrect of 10.

Best regards
Alla.

Hi torstn,
In this pargrah blue ''s'' indicate ''is'' such as ''He's from England'' means
''He is from Englan''
Red ''s'' is possessive.

[Adikonedareva]

dear Torsten,
I did allready read the lesson 6
I think the blue one are abbriated versons of he is becomes he's
the red ones are posessives forms
her name is becomes name's

Adi

Hi Torsten Daerr I'm Bahrom. I got your last mail and intend to answer it.
's possesive means that it is possesive.
EX: His friend's books are in the book shelf. but "is" to be form : She's teacher

Hello Torsten,
how are you? Everithing fine? I have read the text about possessives and the answers are that the red ones are for the possessives and the blue ones for the simple present of to be. I have also practised the English alphabet, writting down the words spelt. In the test about modal verbs I got 10 out of 10, not too bad, is it ?
Every time you send me the lesson, you ask me to use the forum. I always write something , but I don't receive any replay, may-be I do something wrong, don't I ?
Remember that my username is Mara , but I subscribed using my name that is Dora.
Looking forward to the next lesson,
best regards,
Dora
