I need help with a few questions, do you think you can help? I will fan and medal. (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the questions?

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Which sentence contains an incorrect possessive form? A. Colorful photographs decorated the room. B. I filled the cat's water bowl a few minutes ago. C. Is Marty's apartment in this building? D. The dogs tail is wagging very quickly. I think that this one is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it is D

OpenStudy (paki):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how so? because u are looking for the INCORRECT possesive form

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Yes, because the dog's tail, not the dogs tail. The tail belongs to the dog, therefore the dog possesses it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ . ^ yep

OpenStudy (paki):

why not A...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not possessive at all, its plural

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Because the photographs aren't possessing anything, they are simply decorating.

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Exactly @IWouldLikeHelpPlease ^ (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alrighty lets close this question. lol

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Anyway, next question. Which sentence contains an incorrect possessive form? A. There is a water fountain near the employees' break room. B. The store manager's answers were extremely helpful. C. Childrens' shoes are on the bottom three shelves. D. Girls' dresses are on sale this weekend.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brb

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

I think it would be C, because the children are not owning the shoes, the childrens shoes are simply a separate department.

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

But then again, so is D. So I am unsure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe it is ether C or A

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Wait. I think A. I am fairly positive it's A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright lets go with A, but i leaning towards C

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Which sentence contains an incorrect possessive form? A. Eric donated some of his's toys to the yard sale. B. The responsibility is theirs now. C. Is the drawing hers or his? D. It's anybody's guess how I got over those hurdles. Defiantly A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):
