Давайте розглянемо, як утворюється присвійний відмінок іменників в англійській мові. Зазвичай, ми додаємо апостроф і букву ‘s’ після іменника для створення форми присвоєння. Наприклад: ‘the girl’s book’ означає ‘книга дівчини’. У множині, якщо іменник вже закінчується на -s, ми додаємо лише апостроф після букви. Наприклад: ‘the teachers’ room’ – ‘кімната вчителів’. Під час виконання наступних вправ, ви навчитесь застосовувати ці правила на практиці.
