THE POSSESSIVE CASE OF NOUNS

Teacher: Do you remember our friend Donald Duck? He likes secrets very much. He knows you very well, but he wants to know:

– Kate, what’s your mother’s name?
– Mary, what’s your father’s name?
– Vanya, have you got a brother or a sister? What’s your sister’s name?
– Thank you very much!!! You are so wonderful! Let’s play a game!

Donald Duck gives toys to the pupils and asks questions.

– Dima, what colour is Mary’s giraffe?
– OK, well done! Now, give me your toys.

Donald Duck puts the toys into the empty box and then takes one toy out of the box and asks.

– Mary, whose toy is this?
– I think, this is Dima’s crocodile.
– Thank you, children! Good bye!

Teacher: Dima, you are on duty today. Don’t forget to take the pupils’ exercise-books. Our lesson is over, good bye! Thank you for the lesson.
