Possessives
You can use an apostrophe and “s” (‘s) to indicate possession or a relationship.
Example: My uncle is my mom’s brother.
Example: My dad’s dad is my grandfather.
Example: This is my brother’s dog.
This/That + These/Those (Demonstratives)
This/That (singular) and These/Those (plural) are demonstratives. We use them to point out people, places and things. We can also use them as pronouns. This/These are usually used for something close, while that/those are for something that is distant.
Example: This is my brother’s dog.
Example: What are those?
Example: These are my books.
Example: That book is blue.
Contractions
Remember: Contractions are used to combine two words with an apostrophe. Sometimes, you can combine a pronoun and a verb to create a contraction. Below are two examples that are used in this lesson.
| I’ve → I have | You’ve → You have | We’ve → We have |
| He’s → He has | She’s → She has | They’ve → They have |
| It’s → It is | That’s → That is | Let’s → Let us |
