POSSESSIVE CASE 

 

We use ’s after a singular noun (animate thing)  and  after a plural noun.

We use ’s with irregular plural nouns (e.g. children, men, people, women):

The children’s parents decided which university they would go to.

They have no respect for other people’s property.

Exceptions : 

Is that yesterday’s paper?

I’ve only had one week’s holiday so far this year.

  • a day's work
  • a month's pay
  • in a year's time
Other examples
  • For God's sake! (= exclamation of exasperation)
  • a stone's throw away (= very near)
  • at death's door (= very ill)
  • in my mind's eye (= in my imagination)

 We don’t usually use the possessive ’s with things (inanimate things):

the door handle; the handle of the door 

Not: the door’s handle

the shop window; the window of the shop 

Not: the shop’s window

the kitchen table; the table of the kitchen 

Not: the kitchen’s table
