Hi Torsten ,
Red is possessive, and blue is abbreviation

922

s in red is possessive while s in blue is short from of is

923

Hi Torsten,

The S is red when it shows possessions, and S blue’s are the short form of “is”.

924

Hi Torsen.
The “s” is red when it shows possession (Possessive “s”) and it is blue when it means “is” (the short form).

Best regards.

925

hello
I think the red S use to possessive but the blue S (is ='s) use to present simple.

I want to ask, I have 3 phrases :

  • Lite (name)
  • Cafe
  • Staffs and Workers

Is this valid :

  • Lite’s Cafe’s Staffs and Workers

Since there are 2 ’ 's ’ in the sentence…

927

The 2 ''s ’ aren’t a problem but the use of ‘staffs’ is. 'Staff is uncountable and should be singular.

928

Blue one is short form of ‘‘he is’’ i.e. He’s …He is
Red one is possessive’s’

929

My fater’s dog’s puppy is hungry.

Is this acceptable?

Or:
The dog of my fater’s puppy is hungry.

930

Do you mean “father”?

My father’s dog’s puppy is hungry.
That is correct: the puppy born to the dog owned by my father.

931

Of course I mean father. I’ve made ridiculous mistakes in my sentences. :slight_smile:

932

That’s not ridiculous, Csaabaa. It’s very easy to miss out a letter when typing. That sort of mistake could happen to anyone.
Don’t worry about it.

935

936
