Sở hữu cách (possessive case) là một hình thức chỉ quyền sở hữu của một người đối với một người hay một vật khác. “Quyền sở hữu” trong trường hợp này được hiểu với ý nghĩa rất rộng rãi. Khi nói cha của John không có nghĩa là John “sở hữu” cha của anh ấy. Cũng vậy, cái chết của Shakespear không hề có nghĩa là Shakespeare “sở hữu” cái chết.
Do đó, Sở hữu cách chỉ được hình thành khi sở hữu chủ (possessor) là một danh từ chỉ người. Một đôi khi người ta cũng dùng Sở hữu cách cho những con vật thân cận hay yêu mến. Trong tiếng Anh, chữ of có nghĩa là của. Nhưng để nói chẳng hạn Quyển sách của thầy giáo người ta không nói the book of the teacher, mà viết theo các nguyên tắc sau:
3. Possessive case
1. Thêm (’s) vào sau Sở hữu chủ khi đó là một danh từ số ít. Danh từ theo sau (’s) không có mạo từ:
The book of the teacher - The teacher’s book
The room of the boy - The boy’s room
2. Với những danh từ số nhiều tận cùng bằng S, ta chỉ thêm (’).
The room of the boys - The boys’ room.
4. Possessive adjectives
his
her
its
our
your
their
my mother (mẹ của tôi)
his work (công việc của anh ta)
our office (cơ quan của chúng tôi)
your good friend (người bạn tốt của anh)
Khi bạn muốn nói Mẹ của tôi, bạn không thể nói I’s mother hay the mother of I. Trong trường hợp này, sở hữu chủ là một đại từ nhân xưng, vì vậy chúng ta phải sử dụng một tính từ sở hữu (possessive adjective) là my – my mother.
