Possessive ‘s
Rob’s suitcase
The teachers’ room
In English, we express possession and relation between people with the name of the owner + ‘s + the name of the object (e.g. football ) or the person (e.g. brother ).
When two people own something together, put the ‘s after the second person.
Add only the apostrophe after names ending in -s and regular plural forms.
Attention
An ‘s’ followed by an apostrophe can be:
• The third person form of the verb be (= is): Terry’s from London.
• The third person form of the verb have (= has): Terry’s got glasses.
• The possessive ‘s: Terry’s sister is pretty.
To ask a question and to know who owns something we use whose. Look at the examples: ‘Whose is this backpack?’ ‘It’s Jake’s backpack.’
7 Correct the sentences adding the possessive ‘s.
This is Catherine tablet. This is Catherine’s tablet.
1 She is Richard sister.
2 That isn’t mum suitcase.
3 Who has got Jim backpack?
4 I haven’t got Joan telephone number.
5 Have you got Patrick headphones?
6 Where’s dad computer?
7 It’s Valentina wallet.
8 Gordon’s got Paula bicycle.
8 What does the ‘s mean in the following sentences? Write is, has or ‘s.
He’s my cousin Said. is
1 Tom’s got a new backpack.
2 Jeremy’s hair is blond.
3 Who’s the girl with a red bag?
4 Georgia’s sisters have got glasses.
5 Where are your brother’s keys?

Who's afraid of skeletons?
• Babies have about 300 bones. Some bones join together and when we are adults the total number of bones in our body is 206
• Other mammals, as well as birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles, have bones inside their bodies.
• Human skulls have 22 bones. By comparison, the skull of alligators have around 53 bones! FACTS
What are bones?
Bones are 70% minerals, such as calcium which makes them strong and rigid, and ossein, which makes them elastic and resistant.
We need bones to:
- protect the internal organs. The skull, for example, protects the brain; vertebrae protect the heart and the lungs;
- support the muscles and make us move;
- produce blood cells which carry oxygen to our body.
Calcium is very important for our bones and helps keep them strong and healthy. In fact, bones are very hard but you can bend them. Do you know how it is possible?
A very simple experiment can tell you how.
DO YOU KNOW
• The longest bone in the human skeleton is the thigh bone. It is called the femur.
• The smallest bone in the human body is in the ear. It is 2.8 millimetres long.
