Apostrophes – how to use them
Definition The apostrophe is a raised comma — like this ( ‘ ). It is used to show possession and to punctuate contractions. Examples
Many people have problems with the apostrophe. [You're not alone.] Use We can write The tail of the dog or The dog’s tail. This is possession – when something belongs to someone or something. We can also write It is a lovely day or It’s a lovely day. This is contraction – when two words are merged. The apostrophe is used to denote the missing letter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Possession When the possessor is single we indicate possession by using an apostrophe followed by the letter s: When the possessors are plural, the apostrophe is placed after the final s: When names end with the letter ‘s’, either use is acceptable:

Aramco Guy Everything plays a role. Nothing is less than the other, when it comes to a business communication, Grammar plays a very significant part. Actually it has to be balanced somehow. Sometimes, you will be in a very embarrassing situation if you talk or write using a weakened grammar, you will have a lot of problems May Allah bless you all |

why then studying it and bothering ourselves thanks for your comment |
رد: Apostrophes – how to use them
There are very few examples about this strage shortening has or have when it means possisson
until now what I found is this is completely uncommon in American English In British English it's used in the form of "I've a car" but not formally - and I think also not officially and some say they've found it used in some books But I didn't find any website talks about shortening has when it is a main verb like your example like: He's a car still searching :007: |

I do agree with you that such shortening should be used in writing. However, if it used, we at least know from the context what they mean this is it May Allah bless you all |

Finally, I got it
:biggrin: see these two sites http://flang1.kendall.mdc.edu/1/104/...4Lecture1b.htm http://www.1-language.com/englishcou...19_grammar.htm They both say that shortening have or has when they mean possession is INCORRECT and there are a lot more sites, but these tow are talking clearer about the issue and most of the other sites are forums, and I didn't want to use forums to support my opinion although, British people use the form "I've a car" but only as a slang maybe But I didn't find any thing that supports the form "He's a car" not even as a slang and I think the reason is because it's very confusing, see this example: He's a problem it could mean: He has a problem or He is a problem they are completely different from each other |

and somehow it's correct But To be honest with you I'm 99% not sure I've a car"= I have got a car =right ? |
رد: Apostrophes – how to use them
اقتباس:
especially in the British dialect as I said and I mentioned that some people say they found it used in some books but in academic speech, It's incorrect so "I've a car" can be used sometimes even it is academicly not correct but "He's a car" is definitely incorrect |

but see this sentence I ain't has not any moneys we can get the meaning from the context even it's grammatically wrong The role of grammar is that it helps us to get the meaning from context as easy as it could be so this sentence which is grammatically right I do not have money you get the meaning easily |
رد: Apostrophes – how to use them

It's like saying It's not important to have a good car the important is driving well In my point of view: the more grammar knowledge you get, the more well your language gets, including speaking abilities. |

And i told him what do you think About This Sentence What does mean =he's a car he told me that he has a car Cuz it doesn't make any sense when you say that its meaning =he is a car when you want to make it for him you can say his car I told you That I'm not sure 99% But the 1 percent still Glimmer of hope |
