Top Highlights

“possessive pronouns will be the primary words used for the genitive of possession” (Page 47)

“The perfect may be used to emphasize the results or present state produced by a past action.” (Page 247)

“The substantive in the genitive denotes the whole of which the head noun is a part” (Page 48)

“To test whether the genitive in question is a genitive of apposition, replace the word of with the paraphrase ‘which is’ or ‘that is,’ ‘namely,’ or, if a personal noun, ‘who is.’” (Page 52)

“that to or for which the action of a verb is performed. The indirect object will only occur with a transitive verb.” (Page 67)
