Di norma il genitivo sassone si applica allepersone, ai gruppi di persone (compresi gli stati)e agli animaliper mostrare la loro relazione con qualcosa o qualcuno. La relazione di
possesso soltanto uno degli aspetti che il genitivo sassone descrive.
Si forma mettendo al primo posto della frase il soggetto (A), aggiungendo poi un s eloggetto o la persona in relazione con il soggetto.
E.g.: The house of Mary =
Marys house
ATTENZIONE! Davanti a un nome proprio o a un agettivo possessivo non si mette mailarticolo
E.g.: The Marys house The my fathers glasses ERRORE!
Il possessore puo essere soltanto una persona, un insieme di persone (un gruppo o unostato) oppure unespressione di tempo (quale ieri, oggi, domani, una data, lanno scorso..)
E.g.: Marys houseIndias armyFrances populationYesterdays talk showTomorrows weather forecast1789s revolutionLast years fashion
