(3)代名詞所有格(genitive):由於具有表明物主的所有權的意思,又稱為所有格限定詞,因中文中亦有“的”的意思,具有形容詞的意味,也稱為所有格形容詞,簡言之所有格之後必接名詞。

 

【觀念確認】所有格後絕不可接代名詞,也不可與指示代名this, that冠詞the, a, an同時用於名詞之前

Mary is one of my friends.()

                          Mary is a friend of mine.(我的朋友)

                          Mary is a friend of my friend’s.(朋友的朋友)

 

                             Mary is a my friend. ()

                             Mary is my one friend. ()

                             Mary is one friend of mine.()

                             Mary is a friend of my friends.()

國王、王后

在以從屬子句做為受詞或補語的句中,若將名詞子句改為動名詞片語,若從屬子句的主詞與主要子句不同,動名詞前須將主詞改用所有格(詳參動名詞)
 

         他堅持由他付錢

                   He insisted that he should pay the money.

                   He insisted on his paying the money.

                  I am afraid that he would do it that way.

                  I am afraid of his doing it that way.
