La forme possessive

En anglais, on utilise 's pour décrire la possession ou l'appartenance.

Construction :

possesseur 's possédé

Exemples :

Tony's car is red

Lorsqu'il y a deux possesseur pour le même possédé :

Iris and Nolan's English teacher is very strict.

Dans cette phrase, Iris et Nolan ont le même professeur d'anglais.

Lorsque les deux possesseurs possèdent deux possédés différents :

Louis's and Anaïs's parents are coming tonight.

Dans cette phrase, on indique bien que Louis et Anaïs ont des parents différents.

Attention, lorsque le possesseur est au pluriel avec un « s », on ne met que '
