It’s Doris’ pen.

1.06

Say it RIGHT!

If a name ends in -s, add ’s after the final -s. You can also just use an apostrophe (’) after the final -s. Both are correct, and they are pronounced the same way. For example, Lucas’s and Lucas’ both sound like Lucases.

Listen to the sentences.

Lucas has hats. = They’re Lucas’s hats. / They’re Lucas’ hats.

Pay attention to the way you pronounce your classmates’ names with the possessive in Exercise 9.

Our Summer Tradition

by Carla Lucero I have a big Italian family, and we have an unusual tradition.

On the last day of school, we always have dinner at an Italian restaurant. We celebrate the start of summer! There are always a lot of people at the restaurant – my parents, my grandparents, my brother, my sister, my cousins, and me!

We have traditional Italian food. There are many great dishes on the menu, like minestrone soup and pasta. We also have dessert. There is traditional Italian music at the restaurant, too. After dinner, we go to my grandparents’ house and watch an Italian movie. Then we look at family photos.

It ’s really fun.

Reading to write: A family tradition 6. Look at the photo. Where are the people? Who do you think they are? Read the article to check.
