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.
