Possession with OF in English Grammar: When to Use "Of" VS Apostrophe S ('s)
Learn how to use "of" with possession and possessive forms like ’s in this English grammar lesson for beginners. I'll teach you the basics of how we use 's to indicate possession for people and animals. We'll also learn about how to use "of" or compound nouns with inanimate objects or things. For example: We say "the boy's bike" and NOT "the bike of the boy." However, we say "the car door" and NOT "the car's door." 📚 In this lesson, I'll cover how we use 's with time expressions to indicate a duration or period associated with an action or event. I'll also teach you how we use compound nouns to express possession in English, and how we use "of" to signify possession, especially with parts of objects, groups, or abstract concepts. We'll also cover the structure and use of noun phrases with possessive pronouns. At the end of this lesson, there will be a short quiz to test your knowledge!
