Possessive case

The Possessive case is used to indicate the possession of the subject. It's the way that we use to express the  possession, origin and quality of the substantive.

Examples:

Possessor / Subject	Substantive
The boy’s	Bicycle
Ana’s	Car
My father’s	House

 

Others examples:

Demonstratives pronouns  + verb to be	Possessor / Subject	Substantive
This is	John’s	Book
That is	Charles’	Horse

Obs1: When the subjects are in the plural, and finish with S, it just put ( ' ) .


Example: Lucas' mother.

Pay attention:

This computer belongs to Mary.

It's Mary's computer.

MARY'S is in the Possessive form, because 'S indicates that the COMPUTER belongs her.

Obs2: The possessive case can do with the Preposition.
Example: The book of John.



Obs3: When there are more of two possessors with the same possession, we put the 'S just in the last possessor.
Example: Chris, Lázaro and Laécio's bedroom.

Well, I'm being tired, but I will read the Paulo Freire's book.
