名詞所有格

1.在大多數名詞末加“'s”

the boy's toy, men's work

2.以 s結尾的複數名詞直接加“'”

the students' reading room

3.以 s結尾的單數名詞加“'”

Dickens' novels the actress' performance

4.郃成名詞在最後一個詞上加“s”

her brother-in-law's piano.

Somebody else's books. (重要!)

【金牌重點】：除用於有生命的人外，“'s”格還可用於度量衡、地域、天躰及一些習語中：

an hour's drive, a mile's journey

ten pounds' weight. Beijing's weather

the earth's surface

a stone's throw 投石之距離

at one's wits end 智窮計盡

to one's heart's content 盡情地

by a hair's breadth 千鈞一發

at a snail's pace 緩慢地

5.雙重所有格：

如果被脩飾的名詞前有不定冠詞、不定代詞、指示代詞、疑問代詞脩飾。則要採用雙重所有格。

a friend of mine (名詞性物主代詞)

a child of hers

the love poems of your sister's

注意區別：

1） a portrait of her mother 她母親的畫像(畫中人)

2） a portrait of her mother's 她母親擁有的畫像中的一幅(不一定是她母親的畫像)
