​Family Portrait

​4A

​Who do you think is his brother?
Do you think it's good or bad to have a famous person in the family?

​Doug is a businessman and a photographer. He is also the founder of Care to Leam, an organization that helps poor children in the USA to do well at school. He's married with three children, and he and his family have a normal life. But for many people, he is always "___ ___'s brother".

Doug's life can be difficult. People follow him in the street. They ask him questions about his brother, his brother's ex-wife, who is also very famous, and their six children. The paparazzi follow Doug's children and take photographs.

But it also has advantages. 'I go to film premieres and I meet famous actors. And when I phone people and ask for money for Care to Learn, it helps when I say I'm "___ ___'s brother."

Doug is not jealous of his older brother. He is happy with his life. "I see the world of famous people from the outside. I can leave it, but my brother can't."

​Possessive Case

​

​The Possessive Case

​is used with nouns referring to people, groups of people, countries, animals, and objects. It shows the relationship of belonging between one and another.

​Sentence Structure

Usually, we begin by saying who ( or what ) possesses something.

​

​Sentence Structure

Then, we add the apostrophe ( ' ) with S to indicate possession.

​Don't confuse the possessive case 'S with the abbreviated form of is ( 's ) and has ( 's ).

​Sentence Structure

We then say what belongs to the subject.

The noun can be omitted if it was already mentioned previously.
E.g.: "Whose's this toy?" "It's Anna's"
