我們用 possessives 去表達人或物的所屬關係,譬如說 "my dad's car", "the man's shoes", "the leg of the desk" 或 "the floor of the house"。
學生們常錯誤地把上面的例子寫成:
- the car of my dad
- the shoes of the man
- the desk's leg
- the house's floor
- the boy's computer
- Mr Lee's house
- Sally's dress
- the dog's tail
- the roof of the house
- the tyre of the car
- the lid of the bottle
- the top of the desk
- the waters of the Pacific Ocean
