Forming the possessive (...'s)

تكوين الملكية
( noun's) 's بعد الاسم المفرد ضع

(... s')


في حالة الجمع الذي ينتهي بــ S نضع ' بدون S

Form

To form the possessive, add 's ('apostrophe -s') to the noun.
If the noun is plural,جمع or already ends in -s, just add:' (an apostrophe).

For names ending in -s:

في حالة الاسماء التي تنتهي بــ S فيمكن اضافة ' او s'

In speaking we add the sound /z/ to the name, but in writing it is possible to use either 's or just '. The 's form is more common. e.g. Thomas's book, James's shop.


Examples

The possessive form is used with nouns referring to people, groups of people, countries, and animals. 'Belonging to' or 'ownership' is one of the relationships it expresses : لتوضيح الملكية


It can also express other relationships, for example:

where someone works or studies or spends time:اين يدرس او يقضي وقته


a family relationship: العلاقات الاسرية

qualities:خصال


There are also some fixed expressions where the possessive form is used:




Time expressions Other expressions
a day's work For God's sake!
a fortnight's holiday a pound's worth of apples.
a month's pay the water's edge
today's newspaper a stone's throw away (= very near)
in a year's time at death's door (= very ill)
in my mind's eye (= in my imagination)

The possessive is also used to refer to shops, restaurants, churches and colleges, using the name or job title of the owner.
