Possessive Case - Exercises and Answers

Hey people!

In today's class, I'm gonna post some exercices about 's. You remember the Possessive Case, right? If you don't, reread the previous posts.
In the previous post, I didn't talk about irregular plural. I'll just give you now a short explanation:

Irregular plurals are those words which don't have an "s" in the end, in English. For example:
Woman (singular) - Women (plural) (You can't say "womans")
Man (singular) - Men (plural) (You can't say "mans")
Child (singular) - Children (plural) (You can't say "childs")
Now let's move on.

Na aula de hoje, postarei alguns exercícios sobre o 's. Vocês se lembram do Caso Possessivo, não é? Se não, volte às postagens anteriores e leia novamente para entender, ok?
No último post, não comentei a respeito de plural irregular. Apenas darei uma básica explicação:

Plurais irregulares são aqueles que não acabam em "s" no Inglês, por example:
Woman - Women (Mulher - Mulheres)
Man - Men (Homem - Homens)
Child - Children (Criança - Crianças)
Agora podemos prosseguir:

1. Rewrite the sentences according to the example:
Ex.: Paul has a brother --> Paul's brother

a) Wendy has a toy.
b) Those women have a car.
c) Ingrid has a lot of books.
d) Chris and Gabriel have a law firm.
e) Gabriel has a law firm and Chris has a law firm.

2. Write P for Possessive Case or C for the is/ has contracted form:
a) Pricilla's Japanese.
b) Jake's e-pal is Brazilian.
c) My mother's gone to the Island.
d) It's a beautiful night.
e) Today's tragedy is tomorrow's news.

Obs.: News = Notícia (Singular and Plural).

Answers:
1.
a) Wendy's toy
b) Those women's car
c) Ingrid's books
d) Chris and Gabriel's law firm
e) Gabriel's and Chris law firm
