LESSON 11. Uso de “Whose”2. Sustantivos posesivos3. Pronombres Posesivos4. Uso de los sustantivos posesivos.

Watch the picture and read. What’s going on?

“ IT’S MINE!”

1. Uso de “ Whose”

Utilice “ Whose” (de quién) para preguntar acerca de la posesión. “ Whose” aparece habitualmente delante de un sustantivo:Ejemplos:

a) Whose umbrella is this?b) Whose idea was that?

2. Sustantivos posesivos

La respuesta a una pregunta que tiene “Whose” es a menudo una palabra de este tipo:

Mary’s Bob’s My mother’s.

Estos nombres que terminan con un apóstrofo + -s son Sustantivos Posesivos.

3




El sustantivo posesivo, como lo indican (‘)+ -s, generalmente se refiere a cosas vivas.

Decimos the boy´s leg ( la pierna del niño), pero no decimos the chair´s leg.

Decimos the leg of the chair ( la pata de la silla).

Decimos the cat’s eye ( el ojo del gato), pero no decimos the needle´s eye.

Decimos the eye of the needle ( el orificio de la aguja).

Esta regla es general y hay algunas excepciones, particularmente en el lenguaje poético. Una excepción constante es con las expresiones de tiempo:

Today´s news (las noticias de hoy) This year’s styles ( los estilos de este año), etc.

Para formar frases utilizando sustantivos posesivos, utilice este orden secuencial:

1. el poseedor2. un apóstrofo (‘)3. una –s4. la cosa o persona poseída

En el cuadro que sigue, puede ver cómo se forman las expresiones de posesión:

(1)El poseedor

(2) + (3)‘ + -s

(4)La cosa ó persona poseída

Ejemplos de oraciones

Mary ‘s cat Mary’s cat is gray and whiteShoes

Mary’s shoes are very pretty

Jim ‘s phone number Please tell me Jim’s phone number

parentsDo you know Jim’s parents?

Mrs., Smith ‘s car That’s Mrs. Smith’s car.

piesMrs. Smith’s pies are delicious

The president

‘s Wife The president’s wife is popular.

daughtersMy cousin married one of the

president’s daughters.

Our uncle ‘s apartmentOur uncle’s apartment is very

modern.

4




friends We don’t know our uncle’s friends Existen algunos casos especiales a tener en cuenta al formar el sustantivo

posesivo, como los que aparecen en cuadro de abajo:

En “a “ más abajo: para hablar acerca de un estudiante como poseedor, use student´s.

En “b” más abajo: para hablar acerca de más de un estudiante como poseedor, use student´s o students’.

La pronunciación del sustantivo posesivo es la misma en todos los casos, pero la ortografía es diferente. Observe la colocación del apóstrofo.

CASOS ESPECIALES(1)

El poseedor(2) + (3)

‘ + -s(4)

La cosa ó persona poseída Ejemplos de oraciones

a. The student

(un / una estudiante)‘s

Teacher The student’s teacher is Mrs. Smith

parentsThe student’s parents applauded wildly when their daughter won the award for

student of the year

b) The students

The students(más de un /a estudiante)

‘s ó‘

Teacher The students’s ( ó students’) teacher is a lovely person.

parents Most of the students’s (ó students’) parents came to see the play.

Nota 1: La colocación del apóstrofo es importante.

En la oración a), más arriba, el poseedor es un estudiante.

E la oración b), el poseedor es más de un estudiante.

Nota 2: En la oración b, se puede escribir el sustantivo posesivo de dos maneras:

a) Students’s y b) students’

El primer ejemplo ( students’s) sigue la regla de agregar el apóstrofo después del poseedor y luego una –s.

El segundo ejemplo ( students’) omite la –s final.

Las dos formas de escritura en b) son correctas.

5




Las dos se pronuncian de la misma manera: igual que “students” sin apóstrofo.

La segunda forma, sin la –s, final, se está convirtiendo en la más aceptable.

Nota 3: Estas dos formas: -s´s y –s’, son correctas después de todas las palabras que terminan en –s:

Charles´s/ Charles’ Mr. Williams’s ,/ Mr. Williams’ Her parents’s/ her parents’

Nota 4:Otro caso especial es el de los sustantivos de plural irregular, como en el cuadro que sigue:

CASOS ESPECIALES(1)

El poseedor(2) + (3)

‘ + -s(4)

La cosa ó persona poseída Ejemplos de oraciones

c) The man ‘sArm The man’s arm was broken in the

accident

feet The man’s feet were frostbitten in the extreme cold.

d) the men ‘sOffice The men’s office is on the 40th floor.

Offices The men’s offices all have windows.

Los plurales irregulares como men, women, children,etc, siguen todos este mismo orden secuencial de los sustantivos en singular.

3. Pronombres Posesivos

Usted ya ha aprendido a utilizar la palabra interrogativa “Whose”:

Ejemplo: Whose umbrella is this? It’s Jane’s

O con un adjetivo posesivo + un sustantivo: Ejemplo: It’s her umbrella.

También puede responder con una palabra como ésta: hers

Ejemplo: It’s hers (Es de ella)“Hers” es un pronombre posesivo.

6




Se utiliza en lugar del sustantivo umbrella, con el significado adicional de pertenecer

a una persona de sexo femenino. Como el que habla y el que escucha saben que

están hablando del mismo paraguas, no es necesario repetir el sustantivo diciendo

her umbrella.

Hers, mine y otros pronombres posesivos se refieren tanto a sustantivos en singular como en plural.Ejemplo:

a. Whose jacket is this? It looks like Jane’s jacket. I think it’s hers. It’s not mine.

b. Whose keys are these? Mine. They’re mine. They’re not hers.

A continuación encontrará una revisión de adjetivos posesivos junto a sus respectivos pronombres posesivos.
