摘要:让我们听听Jackie和Helen谈论本周节目的时候是怎么说的吧!很有意思的。
"I thought we should not use the possessive form for things without life, but I often hear the phrase 'in this week's programme'. Could you clarify this for me?"
Ely, Jakarta
In this week's programme, Jackie and Helen discuss the phrase In this week's programme and the use of the possessive s.
We find out when it's appropriate to use the possessive s format and how to get the spelling right:
Is it
The childrens' party
or
The children's party?
Is it
Charles's house
or
Charles' house?
Jackie and Helen also look at pronunciation of the possessive s.
