• Anmerkungen zum Genitiv:
• Sobald es sich um Besitzer im Plural handelt, folgt auf das Substantiv ein Apostroph:

• Der Genitiv wird generell nur bei Personen oder Tieren verwendet:

oder The car steering wheel.

oder The car steering wheel.
• In manchen Fällen kann der Genitiv Substantive wie house, shop, store (etc.) beinhalten, auch wenn sie zuvor nicht erwähnt wurden:
Luna is at the doctor's right now. Luna ist gerade beim Artzt.
I bought this bag at Warbuckle's. Ich habe diese Tasche bei Warbuckle gekauft.
We are having dinner at the Kennedys' tonight. Wir essen heut Abend bei den Kennedys.
• In der Werbung oder in der Geschäftswelt trifft man häufig auf Ausdrücke, bei denen das Apostroph weggelassen wird oder die sich zu einem einzigen Begriff zusammensetzen:
Sports wear ( oder Sportswear). Sportbekleidung
Salesman. Verkäufer, Händler
Übung 1
Luna: Hello Horatio. I found this pipe on the laboratory floor. I thought it might be .
Luna: Hello Horatio. I found this pipe on the laboratory floor. I thought it might be yours.
yours: 'Yours' is the possessive pronoun which replaces 'pipe'.
your: We must add an 's' to the end of the word, otherwise it is a possessive adjective and not a pronoun, which the sentence requires.
you: This choice does not make sense here. You is a personal pronoun, and the sentence requires a possessive pronoun to replace the 'pipe' (an object).

1 your: 'Your computer' is the best choice here because Bob Carter is asking about Philip's computer.
2 my: 'My PC' is the best choice here because Philip is talking about his own computer.
3 your: 'Your computer' is the best choice. Because Philip's computer is broken, we can assume he wants to use Bob's computer to check his email.
Übung 3
Horatio: Yes Luna. That pipe is indeed . But what were you doing in laboratory? Hmm?
Luna: Well, I was sitting in Polly's office yesterday, and I just felt like office had a lot of negative energy, so I decided to take a walk.
Horatio: stories are always fascinating, but where did you find this pipe?
Luna: Well, I was sitting in Polly's office yesterday, and I just felt like office had a lot of negative energy, so I decided to take a walk.
Horatio: stories are always fascinating, but where did you find this pipe?
Horatio: Yes Luna. That pipe is indeed mine 1. But what were you doing in my 2 laboratory? Hmm?
Luna: Well, I was sitting in Polly's office yesterday, and I just felt like her 3 office had a lot of negative energy, so I decided to take a walk.
Horatio: Your 4 stories are always fascinating, but where did you find this pipe?
Luna: Well, I was sitting in Polly's office yesterday, and I just felt like her 3 office had a lot of negative energy, so I decided to take a walk.
Horatio: Your 4 stories are always fascinating, but where did you find this pipe?
1 mine: 'Mine' is the best choice here, because Horatio is referring to his own pipe.
1 my: 'My' describes an object. It is a possessive adjective, and must precede a noun.
2 my: 'My' describes an object. It is a possessive adjective, and must precede a noun.
2 mine: 'Mine' is a possessive pronoun, and replaces a noun. Because we see the noun 'laboratory', we cannot use 'mine' here.
2 me: The personal pronoun 'me' doesn't make sense here.
3 her: 'Her' is the best choice here, because Luna is talking about Polly's office, and we can see that the word precedes a noun.
3 hers: 'Hers' is a possessive pronoun, and replaces a noun. Because we see the noun 'office', we cannot use 'hers' here.
3 she: The personal pronoun 'she' doesn't make sense here.
3 she's: 'She's' is actually a contraction for 'she is'. We cannot use it here.
4 Your: 'Your' is the best choice here, because Horatio is talking to Luna, about Luna's stories, we can see that the word precedes a noun.
4 Yours: 'Yours' is a possessive pronoun, and replaces a noun. Because we see the noun 'stories', we cannot use 'yours' here.
4 You're: 'You're' is actually a contraction for 'you are'. We cannot use it here.
4 You: The personal pronoun 'you' doesn't make sense here.
Übung 4
Johnny: Is this Ms. DeLune's stereo?
Petey: Yes, it's . But if you want it, I'll sell it to you.
Petey: Yes, it's . But if you want it, I'll sell it to you.
Johnny: Is this Ms. DeLune's stereo?
Petey: Yes, it's hers. But if you want it, I'll sell it to you.
Petey: Yes, it's hers. But if you want it, I'll sell it to you.
hers: 'Hers' is the possessive pronoun used to refer to the possession of a female. As Ms. DeLune is a woman, 'her stereo' can be replaced by the pronoun 'hers'. Example: -Does this dog belong to your family? -Yes, it's ours.
his: 'His' is the wrong gender for Luna DeLune, who is a woman.
her: 'Her' is a personal pronoun. 'Her' describes 'to whom the stereo belongs', but it cannot replace the object 'the stereo'.
theirs: 'Theirs' is incorrect. 'Theirs' represents more than one person, while Luna is just one woman.
Übung 5
Jean: pipe is this?
Bob: That must be Horatio's.
Jean: Oh, I didn't know it was .
Bob: That must be Horatio's.
Jean: Oh, I didn't know it was .
Jean: Whose 1 pipe is this?
Bob: That must be Horatio's.
Jean: Oh, I didn't know it was his 2.
Bob: That must be Horatio's.
Jean: Oh, I didn't know it was his 2.
1 Whose: We use 'whose?' to ask a question about possession. This is the best choice here.
1 Who: We cannot use 'who' here because the question is about possession, and not about identity.
1 His: 'His' is grammatically incorrect here, because we are asking a question, and so we must use an interrogative term to begin the construction.
2 his: We use 'his' here because we are talking about Horatio's pipe, and Horatio is a male. The possessive pronoun must agree with the gender of the person or subject in question.
2 hers: We cannot use 'hers' here because the pronoun must agree with the subject Horatio, who is a male.
2 its: We cannot use 'its' here because the pronoun must be agree with the subject Horatio, who is a male.
