Basic English Grammar: When & how to add ‘s’

Are you confused about whether to add an ‘s’ at the end of a word? It’s not just for plural nouns, but also for verb endings, and there’s also a pronunciation issue in some cases. Then, there’s the added question of whether to add an apostrophe-even native English speakers get mixed up about that one! This lesson on when to add the ‘s’, and how exactly to add it, is designed to clarify all of this for you. Make sure to practice with the quiz after watching. www.engvid.com/basic-english-...

    Yes, it's correct and the reason we put the apostrophy at the end is because we are talking about two dogs, hence dogs', if we were talking about a single dog, then it would be "dog's". Hope this helps.

    The dog's asleep adding s mean is and the dog you mean is one dog so you adding is as a singular ? If i said dogs are asleep is correct or still dogs is asleep. Little bit confused.

  • @gboldero1

    5 ай бұрын

    The apostrophe goes after the "s" in plural genitive nouns, and unless they are sharing one "dinner", you should say "dinners" and it should be "Our neighbour's/neighbours cats'" so it should be "Our neighbour's/neighbours' cats ate our dogs' dinner/s." or you could say "The cats of our neighbour/s ate the dinner/s of our dogs."

  • @carmensandoval1561

    @carmensandoval1561

    5 ай бұрын

    It is an apostrophe used instead of "is", and in this case the whole sentence must be understood in participle, meaning that the dog is not awake. You can say The dog is ('s) sleeping or The dog is ('s) asleep. Not as nicely explained as Gill would, though😊
