14 Genitivo sassone
U
(possessive case ’s)

Whose bike is it? It’s Sheila’s. They’re Miss Lee’s.
Whose dogs
are they?
• Si usa il genitivo sassone (possessive case ’s) per esprimere possesso

e per indicare rapporti di parentela o relazioni. In questa costruzione si mette
il nome del possessore + ’s + la persona o la cosa posseduta.
Mike’s mum / friends Jane’s hoverboard
la mamma / gli amici di Mike l’hoverboard di Jane
Ai plurali regolari e ai nomi comuni singolari che terminano in -s

si aggiunge solo ’.
my parents’ room la camera dei miei genitori
ma the children’s books i libri dei bambini
Se una cosa è posseduta da più persone, si aggiunge ’s solo all’ultimo possessore.

Mark and Sarah’s dog il cane di Mark e Sarah
Non si mette mai l’articolo davanti alla cosa posseduta.

That’s Paula’s the room Quella è la camera di Paula.
Whose
• Per chiedere a chi appartiene qualcosa o quali sono i rapporti di parentela
o le relazioni si usa la parola interrogativa whose (di chi).

Whose cat is that? He’s Lucy’s. Di chi è quel gatto? È di Lucy.
