The genitive case is a grammatical case for nouns and pronouns.
It is most commonly used for showing possession.
Typically, forming the genitive case involves adding an apostrophe followed by "s" to the end of a noun.
Examples:
- I borrowed Sam's calculator.
Sam's = Noun in genitive case
Calculator = Noun receiving possession
- Our new house is blue
Our = pronoun in genitive case
House = Noun receiving possession
