research
A. Is it correct to say the following sentences? If not, what is the correct way?
a) ( I )Thats Ralph problem.
b) ( C )Joess and Lucys bikes are blue.
d) ( C )She lives in Marks new apartment.
e) ( I )Mr. Wang children are at school.
f) ( C )Where are Helen and Bryans children?
g) ( C )They have a meeting with Joannas parents.
h) ( C )That bag is Lucys. Where are Joes and Marcys?
i) ( C )These arent James reports.
j) ( C )The mens room is upstairs.
B. Based on your research, how is the Possessive Case used in English?
Possessive Case: singular noun add s / plural noun or proper names ended in s add ( ) / irregular plural + s
Joes and Lucys bikes = Two different bikes.
Joe and Lucys bike = one bike that belongs to both.
Proper names ended in s = add ( ) or (s)
When a noun ends in -s, you can add just an apostrophe ( ) or ( s). The latter is more common.
