In the first phase of the project, potential issues leading to a Performance Gap were identified, spanning the entire design and delivery process. These are outlined in the Interim Progress Report, published in July 2013.
Possessive Adjectives versus Possessive Pronouns. A possessive adjective is an adjective that is used to show ownership. It comes before a noun in the sentence and lets us know to whom the noun belongs. While many cases of ownership are shown with possessive nouns (Karen's, children's), these possessive adjectives are not nouns and are not formed by adding an apostrophe + s.
Think of the apostrophe mark as a hook or hand reaching out to take ownership of the object. Without the little hook or hand grabbing onto the âsâ or the next word, the noun is simply plural. Possessive Nouns as Personal Pronouns. Some possessive nouns are actually personal pronouns. A pronoun is a word that can stand in for the noun in a sentence. Pronouns are often used to keep sentences from sounding rambling or redundant.
