Possessives and Genitives!

Vamos aprender a possuir as coisas em Inglês!

What is this?

• This is the infinity gauntlet!

That is Thanos' gauntlet.

The gauntlet of the Infinity Stones.

Genitive case!

No Inglês, precisamos alterar a estrutura do NOUN para indicar relação de propriedade ou pertencimento de um objeto a outro. Para isso, adicionamos um apóstrofo ou um apóstrofo + s.

This is Thiago's class.

Thiago é dono de CLASS

CLASS pertence a Thiago.

My father's brother is my uncle.

O irmão tem relação de pertencimento ao "my father".

O Genitive tem função acumulativa, o último objeto sempre pertencerá ao último sujeito recebendo o genitive:

My father's brother's kids are my cousins -> As crianças do irmão do meu pai são meus primos.

Uso do genitive case

Usamos o GENITIVE case para países, algumas expressões de tempo e pessoas. Quando a palavra termina em S, apenas colocamos o apóstrofo após o S:

• The event is in a week's time.

• He was sentenced to ten days' prison.

Um item compartilhado > apenas um genitive no fim do último nome:

•My brother and my sister's computer is broken.

Um item para cada > um genitive para cada, item no plural:

•My brother's and my sister's computers are broken.

Para objetos e outros lugares, utilizamos "of" / não usamos genitive:

• The mayor of the city = O prefeito da cidade.

• The mayor's city = A cidade do prefeito.

• The book cover = A capa do livro

Consolidation time!

Vamos dar uma conferida no uso do Genitive Case?
