Father's day or Dads' day ? !

Britânico Ensino Fundamental Geral

Carol's got a young father-in-law.

Paul's got an old friendly stepfather.

Janet's got a healthy grandfather.

 

    

Many people all over the world celebrate

Father´s Day to honor their *daddies and

to show their love and affection as well.

The father figure and presence are

very important in most families.Sons 

and daughters have nice relationships 

with their"old man".

*Dads or Daddies are informal words for

fathers,ok ?

 

                     

 

By the way,Cat Stevens composed a great

song: Father and Son which I believe it is

a good idea to listen to it again ,not only in

august ,but also along the years.

On the second Sunday in August Brazi-

lians celebrate Father's Day,but in Aus-

tralia people celebrate it on the first Sun-

-day in September.However Canadians,

Americans and British people celebrate

Father's Day on the third Sunday in June.

Did you know that ?

 

 

                 

 

Now just a few words about  the use of the

possessive case in english : noun +'s

(Father´s) means his day.The apostrophe +"s"

 shows it is his day not mother's day (her day).

But if the noun has a regular plural form (ending

in "s"),we do not need to use the "'s" to express

possession,we only place the apostrophe after the

letter "s" .

Examples:

The boys' father is going to get a nice

present next Sunday.(their)

The girls' grandfather is going to invite

all the family to have lunch with him.(their)

The kids' stepfather is going to meet their

father after dinner.(their)

 

Watch out !  In the sentences below:

.Carol´s got a young father-in-law.

.Paul´s got an old friendly stepfather.

.Janet's got a healthy grandfather.

 

The 's is the contraction of  proper nouns

(Carol,Paul,Janet) + has (v. to have got)
