EVALUATION

Write ten words for each sound.

 

 

B. TOPIC: Grammar

CONTENT: The Use of Apostrophe ‘s, s’ and of.

1. This is my brother’s
2. Horses’ hooves make an exciting sound.
3. Do you like the colour of the new curtains?

Example 1 means: This is the bicycle of my brother, that is, it belongs to him. The apostrophe comes before the letter ‘s’ because brother is singular.

Example 2 means: The hooves of horses make an exciting sound. The apostrophe comes after the second letter ‘s’ of horses because horses is plural.

1. With things (a curtain, is a thing, not a person).
2. When the person or thing that has the colour, owns the bicycle etc. it is expressed by a fairly long-phrase (e.g. our new curtains). Where possible always use ‘s or s’ rather than of. We should not normally say, for example, this is the bicycle of my brother
