Hello!
The blue ones are abbreviation of the verb to be( IS) - she's=she is
The red ones are possessive case.

Thanks

red s, it shows the function of possession, and is followed by noun.
blue s, it shows 'to be', it is a verb.

Hi Torsten,

The S is red when it shows possessions, and S blue's are the short form of "is".

unit 6 - Possessive "s" #924 (permalink) Thu Jan 26, 2012 9:33 am   unit 6 - Possessive "s"
 

Hi Torsen.
The "s" is red when it shows possession (Possessive "s") and it is blue when it means "is" (the short form).

Best regards.

hello
I think the red S use to possessive but the blue S (is ='s) use to present simple.

I want to ask, I have 3 phrases :

- Lite (name)
- Cafe
- Staffs and Workers

Is this valid :

- Lite's Cafe's Staffs and Workers

Since there are 2 ' 's ' in the sentence...

The 2 ''s ' aren't a problem but the use of 'staffs' is. 'Staff is uncountable and should be singular.

Do you mean "father"?

My father's dog's puppy is hungry.
That is correct: the puppy born to the dog owned by my father.
