Grammar exercises:
The Possessive Case (Притяжательный падеж)
1. Притяжательный падеж одушевленных существительных единственного числа образуется путем прибавления к основе окончания 's (т. е. апострофа и буквы s), которое произносится как [s], [z] или [iz], т. е. как окончание множественного числа существительных (см. выше правила чтения):
- the student's bag - сумка студента
2. Притяжательный падеж имен существительных во множественном числе образуется добавлением апострофа:
- the students' bags - сумки студентов
Если существительное во множественном числе не имеет окончания -s, то притяжательный падеж образуется, как и в единственном числе, путем прибавления -'s:
- the children's room - комната детей
3. Притяжательный падеж сложных существительных образуют прибавляя окончание 's к последнему существительному:
|
|
|
- my mother-in-law's house - дом моей свекрови
- Peter-the-First's reign - царствование Петра Первого
4. Когда два лица и более являются обладателями одного и того же предмета, окончание притяжательного падежа прибавляется к последнему существительному:
- Peter and John's book - книга Питера и Джона
5. Когда указывается принадлежность предмета не лицу, а предмету, то употребляется или конструкция с предлогом of:
- the walls of the town - стены города
- the legs of the table - ножки стола
или два существительных в общем падеже ставят рядом, причем первое используется в качестве определения ко второму:
- coffee table - журнальный столик
- tennis ground - теннисный корт
6. Если при существительном имеются другие определения, то существительное в притяжательном падеже ставится перед ними:
- the student's new dictionary - новый словарь студента
- Kate's best dress - лучшее платье Кати
7. Существительные house, office, shop зачастую опускаются после существительных в притяжательном падеже, если они выполняют функцию обстоятельства места:
- I dined at my friend's (house). - Я обедал у друга (у него дома).
8. Кроме одушевленных существительных притяжательный падеж имеют:
существительные, обозначающие время и расстояние: second, minute, hour, day, night, week, month, year, fortnight:
- a month's leave - месячный отпуск
существительные, являющиеся названиями стран, городов, а также слова: country, city, ship, world, nature, earth:
- Moscow's theatres are the best in the world. - Театры Москвы лучшие в мире.
9. Если имя собственное оканчивается на -s, обычно добавляется 's:
- Denis's ['denisiz] new book - новая книга Дениса
- Charles's ['t∫ a: lziz] wife - жена Чарльза
Но если имя является старинным, иностранным или классическим, к нему в притяжательном падеже добавляется только апостроф, который и при отсутствии 's звучит как [iz]:
- Dickens' novel ['dikinsiz] - роман Диккенса
- Socrates' ['sokrэtisiz] ideas - идеи Сократа
10. Притяжательный падеж употребляется с неодушевленными существительными в некоторых устойчивых словосочетаниях:
