Genitive case
In
grammar, the genitive case or possessive case (also called the second case) is the
case that marks a
noun as being the
possessor of another noun. The genitive case typically has other uses as well, which can vary from language to language: it can typically indicate various relationships other than possession; certain
verbs may take
arguments in the genitive case; and it may have
adverbial uses (see
Adverbial genitive). Modern
English does not typically mark nouns for a genitive case
morphologically — rather, it uses the
clitic 's or a preposition (usually of) — but the personal pronouns do have distinct possessive forms.
