COURSE 1 - CHAPTER 2
GRAMMAR
 Possessive nouns
El GENITIVO SAJÓN en Inglés
Caso Posesivo o Genitivo Sajón En Inglés - Apóstrofe
Posesivo - Possessive Case - Lección # 21
Genitivo sajón
Podemos hablar de las cosas que pertenecen a una persona o un animal
añadiendo un apóstrofo y una “s” al sustantivo para formar lo que se conoce
como “genitivo sajón”:
-The girl's room is dirty. (La habitación de la chica esta sucia).

-The teacher's desk is in front of the class. (La mesa del profesor esta en frente
de la clase).

A diferencia de lo que sucede en muchas lenguas romances, decir “the room of

the girl” suena muy poco natural en inglés.

Excepciones y variantes
Cuando queremos indicar posesión para un sustantivo en plural que acabe en
“s”, el apóstrofo se coloca detrás de la “s” final:

-This is the boy's computer. (Este es el ordenador del niño).

-This is the boys' computer. (Este es el ordenador de los niños).

Si un sustantivo termina en “s”, detrás de esa “s” se puede añadir bien el

apóstrofo o bien el apóstrofo y la “s”, aunque algunas guías de estilo no
recomiendan esta última opción:
Esta es la habitación de Chris.

-This is Chris' room.

-This is Chris's room.

POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES
Subject pronouns Possessive adjectives
I - my = mi,mis I have a car. My car is new.

He - his = su, sus (de el) He has a pencil. His pencil is yellow.
She - her = su, sus (de ella) She has blue eyes. Her eyes are beautiful.
