3.THE USES AND FORMS PERSONAL PRONOUN AND POSSESIVE ADJECTIVE
Possessive (Kata milik/kepunyaan)
Possessives show who or what the owner of something - that shows ownership.
Most nouns can be made simply by adding the possessive form of 's. For example:
* The restaurant’s food is very good.
* Bruce Lee’s right foot is excellent.
* You can eat an apple’s skin.
If the plural noun and ending with the letter "s", then simply add quotation marks ('). For example:
Girls in the following sentence the word is plural and ends in "s" so that:
* The girls’ books are interesting. (The girls’s books are interesting)
Children in the following sentence plural but not ending with the letter "s" so we add fixed 's as usual.* The children’s books are interesting.
The boss at the following sentences ending in letter "s" but not plural, so still we add 's as usual.
* The boss’s office is very big
But this could be looked odd, so we sometimes have to just use the sign '. For example with the name: Thomas’s book, Tess’s house can also be, Thomas’ book, Tess’ house.
Basically the rule is: if the plural noun and ending with the letter "s" add a sign '- but if not still add' s.
1. Possessive adjective (kata sifat milik)
Here's an adjective with example sentences. Notice that the adjective placed before the noun belongs.
Possessive Adjective:
-My
-Your (singular)
-Her
-His
-Our
-Your (plural)
-Their
-its
Example:
This is my book.
Your car looks great.
Her watch is expensive.
His house is on Chamber Street.
Our dog is cute.
Your friends are nice.
This is their ball.
The cat likes its food.
2. Possessive pronoun (kata ganti milik)
Here possessive pronoun with some example sentences. Notice that the possessive pronoun is never placed before the noun.
Possessive Pronoun:
-Mine
-Yours (tunggal)
-Hers
-His
-Ours
-Yours (jamak)
-Theirs
-Its
Example:
This book is mine.
That car is yours.
The expensive watch is hers.
The house on Chamber Street is his.
The cute dog is ours.
Those friends are yours.
This ball is theirs.
No change the property to its word, and so we can not say "The book is its". Possessive pronoun is often placed at the end of the sentence and is usually emphasized. "This is my book" may have factual meaning enough, but "This book is mine" more emphasis on who owns the book.
Example use in conversation:
1) Whose watch is this?
Oh, it’s mine.
And whose pen is this?
It’s Tim’s, I think.
2) Whose CDs are these?
They’re mine. Do you like them?
Sure, I’ve got the same CDs at home.
3) Who lives in that house?
Oh, that’s the Jones’ house. This is our house.
Your house is really nice.
Thanks.
Is this your car?
No that’s not mine, it’s my neighbor’s. This is mine.
4. THE USES AND FORMS OF DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN
Demonstrative pronouns are pronouns that point to specific things. "This, that, these, those, none and neither" are Demonstrative Pronouns that substitute nouns when the nouns they replace can be understood from the context. At the same time, to indicate whether they are close or far, in space or time, from the speaker in the moment of speaking. They also indicate whether they are replacing singular or plural words. Some grammars describe them as members of the class of function words called "determiners", since they identify nouns and other nominals.
• "This" (singular) and "These" (plural) refer to an object or person NEAR the speaker.
• "That" (singular) and "Those" (plural) refer to an object or person further AWAY.
For example:
• This is unbelievable.
* In this example, "this" can refer to an object or situation close in space or in time to the speaker.
• That is unbelievable.
* In this example, "that" can refer to an object or situation farther in space or in time to the speaker.
