Hey, E. I think these are Mr. E's socks or his sock.

嘿，E，我想這是E先生的襪子或他的襪子。

Today I'm going to do a lesson on the apostrophe, specifically about possession.

今天我要做一節關於撇號的課，特別是關於佔有的課。

And actually, this sock is mine and I want to thank Giovana, Nathanial, J2 (Joal), and

實際上，這隻襪子是我的，我要感謝Giovana、Nathanial、J2（Joal），以及。

Izis from Brazil because I taught them, and they bought me these beautiful socks.

Izis來自巴西，因為我教他們，他們給我買了這些漂亮的襪子。

So, give me a second; let me put them on.

所以，給我一點時間；讓我把它們穿上。

Speaking of belonging, I want to go to the board and I want to do...

說到歸屬感，我想去董事會，我想做... ...

We'll explain a couple of ways we use the apostrophe to show possession in three different

我們將解釋幾種我們使用撇號的方式，以表明在三種不同的情況下擁有

So, the apostrophe is used for many things.

Contractions - when we say: "don't" or "can't".

收縮詞--當我們說："不要 "或 "不能"。

But this lesson is specifically about possession.

If we look at single possession, that means one person owns something, we actually have

如果我們看單項佔有，也就是一個人擁有某樣東西，其實我們有

the thing, the noun (in this case, John), and we add the apostrophe plus "s".

的東西，名詞（在本例中，約翰），我們加上引號加 "s"。

It means, in this case: "John's hat is red."

這意味著，在這種情況下，"約翰的帽子是紅色的"

So, by adding this apostrophe "s" it tells us: Not plural, but it does belong to John.

所以，加上這個引號 "s"，就告訴我們。不是複數，但它確實屬於約翰。

Add an apostrophe "s", you know it's belonging.

This is James' book, and this is actually a really good one because some people will

這是詹姆斯的書，這其實是一本非常好的書，因為有些人會

say you can't say: "James'" or "Charles'".

說你不能說。"詹姆斯的 "或 "查爾斯的"。

Check it out; we have another lesson on that, so do so.

看看吧，我們還有一節課要上，所以要上。

But the apostrophe "s" means it belongs to a singular person.

但撇號 "s "表示它屬於單數人。

所以，當我說，"E先生的襪子"，"E先生的襪子 "的時候，

Next one, let's talk about plurals with "s".

下一個，我們說說帶 "s "的複數。

Well, okay, we understand what a single thing is with "s", right?

好了，好了，我們明白了什麼是帶 "s "的單品了吧？

But what happens if we have something like a plural, we have two boys and they have red

但如果我們有類似複數的東西，我們有兩個男孩，他們有紅色的，會怎麼樣？

帽子，我們怎麼討論這個問題？

Because "boys" has an "s" already, we don't need to add another apostrophe "s".

因為 "男孩 "已經有了 "s"，所以我們不需要再加一個撇號 "s"。

We simply put the apostrophe after the "s".

我們只需在 "s "後面加上引號即可。

That indicates to us that you can imagine...

如果可以的話，還有一個想象中的 "s"。

There's an imaginary "s" that goes here, but it's not necessary because we know it's already

這裡有一個虛構的 "s"，但沒有必要，因為我們知道它已經存在了

There are two boys and the hats belong to the boys, so: "The boys' hats are blue."

有兩個男孩，帽子是男孩的，所以。"男孩的帽子是藍色的"

Let's move on to the next one, and what I want to talk about here is compound plurals.

我們接著說下一個，我這裡要講的是複數。

Now, you might be saying: "What's a compound plural?"

現在，你可能會說，"什麼是複數？"什麼是複數？"

Well, in this case, we're taking two objects and putting them together.

好吧，在這種情況下，我們要把兩個對象放在一起。

And maybe these two objects share the same thing and maybe they don't, and we can show

也許這兩個對象有相同的地方，也許沒有，我們可以顯示出

the difference by how we use our apostrophes.

不同的是，我們如何使用我們的省略號。

Now, in this case, we're going to look at, well, Bill and Hillary.

現在，在這種情況下，我們要看看，嗯，比爾和希拉里。

比爾和希拉里在一起有一套房子。

So, if you want to talk about both of them and you don't want to say: "Bill's house is

所以，如果你想談論他們兩個，而你又不想說："比爾的房子是

Hillary's house is nice", you can actually say...

希拉里的房子不錯"，其實你可以說...

One and one is the same, if it's the same: "Bill and Hillary's", okay?

一個和一個是一樣的，如果是一樣的："比爾和希拉里的"，好嗎？

所以說"比爾和希拉里的房子很好。"

In this case, we're saying these are compounded, this is a conjunction, they're together, that's

在這種情況下，我們說這些是複合的，這是一個連詞，他們在一起，這就是

這是一個複合名詞，它們是一起的。

We put the apostrophe "s" to say it's one unit...

我們用引號 "s "表示是一個組織、部門... ...

And because of that, this one unit has a nice house.

也正因為如此，這一個單元的房子很好。

I know, you're smart and you're going: "But James, what if what they have is different;

我知道，你很聰明，你要去。"但是，詹姆斯，如果他們有什麼是不同的，

I'm glad you asked this, grasshopper, because what we're going to look at is an opinion.

我很高興你問這個問題，螞蚱，因為我們要看的是一個意見。

Opinion, like shoes or socks, can be different.

意見，就像鞋子或襪子一樣，可以是不同的。

And I'm going to show you that example here, because in this case, we do have a compound.

而我要在這裡向你展示這個例子，因為在這種情況下，我們確實有一個化合物。

These two things are together, but they are different; they don't share the same thing.

這兩樣東西是在一起的，但它們是不同的，它們並不是同一個東西。

In this case, we can see that Barbara is saying: "No", while George is saying: "Yes".

在這種情況下，我們可以看到芭芭拉在說："不"，而喬治說："是"。

We can't say they have the same opinion; we have to say it differently.

我們不能說他們的意見相同，我們要換一種說法。

So, we put an apostrophe "s" here to say Barbara is single and George is single, and it gives

所以，我們在這裡放一個撇號 "s"，說芭芭拉是單身，喬治是單身，它給出了

the idea that these things are not the same.

的想法，這些東西是不一樣的。

We might say the opinion is the same, the word "opinion", but what they share in opinions

我們可能會說，意見是一樣的，"意見 "二字，但他們共同的意見是什麼呢？

are different, and we illustrate that by saying: "No" and "Yes".

是不同的，我們通過說。"不是 "和 "是"。

And in this sentence: "Barbara's and George's opinions were different."

而在這句話中，"芭芭拉和喬治的意見是不同的。"芭芭拉和喬治的意見是不同的。"

They're together, as in joined with a compound, this conjunction, but each opinion is different.

他們在一起，就像加入了一個複合體，這個連體，但是每個人的意見都不一樣。

So, it could be said: "Barbara's opinion was different."

所以，可以說。"芭芭拉的意見是不同的"

It's complex, but we can make it simpler by making a compound noun and then saying their

這很複雜，但我們可以把它簡單化，做一個複合名詞，然後說他們的

So, now that I think you've got it, I'm going to give you a little rule that will help you

所以，現在我想你已經明白了，我要給你一個小規則，這將幫助你。

if you're still a little bit confused, okay?

So, if you can put "of" in the sentence, you need...

所以，如果你能把 "的 "放在句子裡，你需要... ...

I should have thought about this, but it's "an apostrophe" because it starts with an

我應該想到這一點，但它是 "撇號"，因為它的開頭是一個
