Hi Teacher.
Huuummmm i didn’t understand the example:
The horse’s hay is damp. – Singular (just 1 horse).
The horses’ hay is damp. – Plural
Well, i’m confused, for me is: The horses’s hay ARE damp.

Could you answer me ?

Thanks

Sunday, April 19th 2009Reply to this comment

    Hi Reinoni,

    Hay is an uncountable noun so we don’t add an ‘s’ to the end of hay. If the sentence was: The horses are damp.- we would use ‘are’ but because the sentence is referring to the horse’s hay and hay is uncountable we use ‘is’ instead of ‘are’. You can watch my lesson on Countable and Uncountable Nouns in English to get a better understanding of this.

    Saturday, April 25th 2009Reply to this comment

      Mam,i have a question that how about the singular word ends with an ‘s’ like BUS? what would be its singular possession?

Hello Valen. Thanks for the video. It clarified some of the questions I had. I would like to ask you a couple of questions.

1 – What happens when you need to concatenate possessions? e.g.: Is it correct to say “I can hear John’s cat’s leash’s bell”?

2 – What happens if there are multiple Charles in the example you gave us? e.g.: “These are Charles’s suitcases”

Thanks!

Hi Hi Hi Valen, i just want to say to you that I am among the thousands of people who appreciate what you and the other teachers are doing, I mean you guys are great, doing this online thing for free. I stumbled upon this website just 2 days ago and I have been visiting your site pretty much everyday, hoping that someday I could really improve my communication skills. I know how to speak english but I feel that I am still not “there” yet. I mean, a lot of times I would run out of words or I would stutter or the person I am speaking to does not seem to understand what I am saying and it feels very embarrassing a lot of times. I have been in the states for 6 years now but i am still not confident in my English. Your site has been very helpful to me and to a lot of people who had the same struggle like mine. Keep up the good work. Happy holidays to all of you and may God bless all of you.

Hi Valen I’m Mirelly and I’m really in doubt. I’m used to confusing some things like the possessive, the use of the prepositions like “of” and the adjectives before the nouns. I hope you understood my doubt.
Thank you and congrats by your lesson!

Wednesday, October 20th 2010Reply to this comment

what about the proper names like Jesus, Ulysses, Socrates, Euripides.. can we use just an apostrophe at the end?

Friday, October 22nd 2010Reply to this comment

    You can do that — “Jesus’ hamburger is on the plate.” for example. But it is more common nowadays to add the “s” after the apostrophe even for names that end in s — “Jesus’s cat is very cute.” for example. Please watch James’s full lesson on Apostrophe+S!

Many thanks you are going on the right track.

Sunday, January 9th 2011Reply to this comment

Hi Teacher,
I’m confused, as you’ve said putting an “S” in a plural word is not correct like your example:
The men’s suits are black — wrong
The men suits are black — correct
But why i got wrong in my quiz answering:
The children teacher is very young.
Could you please answer me.
Thank you.

Wednesday, January 26th 2011Reply to this comment

    i think the ‘s’ was used to show the possisve of men suits
    men’s suits mean’s suits are related to men

Dear Ma`am,

You referred to the words such as My, Your, His, Her etc. as Possessive Pronouns but that is NOT CORRECT cause they`re possessive ADJECTIVES as each of them describe a NOUN following them.

Please tell me if I`m wrong and I`d be glad to know your comment.

Best wishes,

Khosro

Tuesday, August 23rd 2011Reply to this comment

Great lesson, Valen. You made it a lot easier!
By the way, I think “my, your, his…” are possessive adjectives, not pronouns like you said.

Wednesday, August 24th 2011Reply to this comment

I did the quiz and I had wrong, the sentense with the words “boy” and “children”.
My answers were boys’s and childrens’.
I don’t undestand. Could you explain me?

Hi everybody
the lesson was great, and i have a question if someone would like to answer me, why did she pronounce “S” “SH” in the words apostrophe and street.Which pronunciation is correct. By the way i found Valen and James’s pronunciation more difficult to understand than the other teachers,
How about the combination thank you till the hell freezes over.
thank you

Friday, October 7th 2011Reply to this comment

Hi Valen, I see the fine work you do here. Well, I’d like to take advantage of that by making a question concerning the use of apostrophes that show possession, can they be use for objects? this is an example: The buliding’s rooms. Is this correct? I thank you beforehand for your kind attention (I’m a student of English as my second language :D )

Sunday, October 9th 2011Reply to this comment

Are you sure that we add an apostrophe to the proper names which already have ”s” at the end? Because I saw ”Butters’ new shirt” (for example) They simply added an apostrophe to the end. Without double s.
Thanks for the video! I’d like to see more about grammar. Especially if it’s complicated. ;)

Hi Valen actually I didn’t use this website a lote,
but I watched some of your vidio lessons and is good
but I like to speak with an amrican english teacher from chat or anything you can do.
and in my country doesn’t have those teachers
so if you can any time I will thankyou very much.

i enjoy ur lessons

Sunday, November 13th 2011Reply to this comment

Regarding possession and apostraphe’s — What about if you are trying to say that two boys own an item(s)?
Ex. The boys’s bedroom. or The boys’ bedroom? The boy’s bedrooms…

I have an ongoing argument with someone who has two boys! This comes up a lot and frankly, I’m really not sure how it’s written or said. I say it like a proper name, like the Charles’s pen example. Please clarify.

Wednesday, November 16th 2011Reply to this comment

    It should be the boys' bedrooms, pronounced the same as the boy's bedrooms. This is the same for words that end in -s (for example, if Charles is a surname and you’re talking about people from the Charles family, the plural would be Charleses and the possessive is Charleses').

Sunday, November 20th 2011Reply to this comment

hello I have a question Valen.khi we add s to s as from a word ending such as this sentence charles’s birthday is tomorrow.

Wednesday, November 23rd 2011Reply to this comment

I have a question about this sentence,”Tall guy gets knocked out by one punch after harassing a man and his friends.” my question is why they use the word “gets” instead got….what is difference between got knocked out and gets knocked out. I don’t understand the concept of using two verb side by side but one verb is past tense and other verb is present tense.
