Dear Mr.Torsten I think the blue color is the short form of the verb TO BE ( he is), and the red color is the possessive form of the
sentences.

Hello Torsten,

I think the (s) in blue color are (((is))) in short form :
He's ------------=He is.
She's -----------=She is.

The (s) in the red color are a possessive.

Coconut.

The abbreviation of "He is and She is" are, He's and she's . And WHY it is written the same in a genitive form possessive? He is = he's - she is = she's just curios! Also what about hes' and shes' (pluralize forms). Many thanks!

Hello Torsten, how are you?
Red "s" possessive case
Blue "s" short of is.
Best regards.

Hi Torsten and everybody,

The question is only one and many people here did the good job to answer it absolutely right.
Besides, I have read somewhere that the possessive 's' can not be used in some cases, but now I can not remember those cases at all. Anybody here remembers about those cases. Can you share with me?

Thanks and best regards

P/s: Please help me to correct my English. Thanks all

"s" color red is the "possessive"
and "s" color blue is the "tobe verb"

I think the blue ones are abbreviated versions of
he is --> becomes he's
she is --> becomes she's

[Handis]

when can we write the possessive s like this = ('s)
and when can we write just using the apostrophe = (')
if the letter on the end of the word is = s, definitely it wrote like this for example = antonius' hat.
please give me some information...i'm sorry if my english is a bit confusing (^_^)
thanks before...

Hello!

The blue "s" it means "short form"

The red "s" it means "possessive"

I have one sister. Her name Wandee. She's a doctor. Her daughter's name is May. She's a student.
