In English, the grammatical form that commonly indicates possession is also used to indicate a variety of relationships between people and objects or people and other people. In English, that grammatical relationship is shown by using the word “**of**,” by using **an apostrophe and the letter “s”**, or by using a **possessive pronoun**. The following examples are different ways to indicate that my grandfather owns a house.
|
||||
|
||||
* the house **of** my grandfather
|
||||
* my grandfather**’s** house
|
||||
* my grandfather **’s** house
|
||||
* **his** house
