In the case of posessives, the 's is not a contraction of is, it is a contraction of his. In the old times, they would say "a man his dog" but today we contract it to "a man's dog".
I know this is useless information to you, but you should really avoid reading Shakespeare. It'll rot you brain. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Andrew |
