• 😀 The video discusses possessive forms like 'Peter's racket' and plural possessive forms such as 'women's rights'.

Q & A

What is the difference between 'who' and 'who's' as explained in the video?

'Who' is used to ask general questions about identity, while 'who's' is a contraction of 'who is' and is used to ask questions about possession or ownership.

Can you explain the use of possessive forms in English?

In English, possessives can be formed by adding an apostrophe and 's' to a noun, like 'Paul's brother'. If the noun is plural and ends in 's', only an apostrophe is added, like 'my friends' cars'.

How do you ask questions about possession using 'who'?

You ask 'Who is this?' when referring to a singular object, and 'Who are these?' when referring to plural objects. For example, 'Who is this skateboard?' and 'Who are these books?'

What is the difference between 'jus' and 'who's'?

'Jus' is a contraction of 'who is' and is used to inquire about the identity of a person, while 'who's' can either mean 'who is' or 'who owns'.

Can you use 'who's' in a question about a person?

Yes, you can use 'who's' to ask about someone's identity, such as in the question 'Who's that woman?' or 'Who's Leonardo DiCaprio?'

What is the rule for using the apostrophe with plural nouns?

When a plural noun ends in 's', you simply add an apostrophe to show possession. For example, 'the teachers' lounge' or 'my friends' cars'.

When do you not use an apostrophe to show possession?

You do not use an apostrophe when referring to things, not people, such as 'the end of the road'. Possession is not indicated in such cases.

What are examples of irregular plural nouns with possessives?

Examples of irregular plural nouns with possessives include 'women's rights' and 'people's choice'.

What is the significance of 'jus' in the script?

'Jus' is a colloquial abbreviation for 'who is' and is used to ask questions about a person's identity, like 'Who is your favorite actor?' or 'Who is Bill Gates?'

How do you ask about the ownership of something in English?

To ask about ownership, you can use 'who's' to form questions like 'Who's that?', or 'Who's that skateboard?', which directly ask about possession.
