Open Ended

How did you know that Jay's brother was the possessive one?

Right! So, in English we show possession with an apostrophe 

Examples: Jay's brother, Ana's sister etc.

But in Spanish there is no such thing as an apostrophe, so we use the word "de" instead

example: el hermano de Jay = (the brother of Jay) = Jay's brother
