Saxon Genitive

When we want to show that somebody owns something, we use the Saxon Genitive:

singular nouns + 's (boy's dog),
plural nouns + ' (children's room)

By the way, when one thing belongs to several people, we use the possessive form on the final name (Mary, Beth and Jane's room).
*****
Kada želimo da pokažemo da neko nešto poseduje, koristimo saksonski genitiv:

imenici u jednini se doda apostrof i slovo "s" - 's (dečakov pas)
imenici u množini se doda samo apostrof - ' (dečija soba)

Uzgred, kada jednu stvar poseduje više osoba, prisvojni oblik se koristi tek posle poslednjeg imena (Marijina, Betina i Džejnina soba).

Fill in the missing possessive form:
1 This is _____ pen. (Jill)
2 That is _____ car. (his father)
3 That is _____ house. (her aunts)
4 This is _____ ball. (the boys)
5 This is _____ room. (Susan and Amy)
