Kumpulan Kunci Jawaban Bahasa Inggris halaman 48-51 Kelas 9 Section 3: Language Focus

Note that have follows a plural subject and has follows a singular subject. Second, we use possessive adjectives to express the features of an animal, for example:

• Gorilla’s fur is black

• Orangutans and gorillas’ legs are long.

In first example, the subject is singular. So, we add apostrophe+s (‘s) after the subject. 

In second example, the subject is plural and ends with an ‘s’, so the possessive is formed by adding an apostrophe after the ‘s’. 

No additional ‘s’ is necessary. Note that we can change the underlined expressions into:

• Its fur is black.

• Their legs are long.

Depending on the subject, possessive adjectives can take different forms. Look at the table:

You

We
