Not: Buradaki çoğu kullanımda (örn. My friend’s bike) hem ‘s hem de of doğru
olabilmektedir. Alıştırmanın amacı hem doğru kullanımı görmeniz hem de daha sık
kullanılanı bulabilmenizdir.

Not 2: ten minutes’ walk (10 dakikalık yürüyüş), two days’ work (2 günlük iş) gibi
kullanımlar ‘’kalıp’’ kullanımlardır ve görüldüğü üzere farklı bir anlama sahiptir. Of ile
bu haliyle kullanılması mümkün değildir. Alıştırmalara görün diye eklenmiştir.

Not 3: a glass of, a plate of, a bottle of vb. kullanımlar ‘’sahiplik’’ anlamı vermez,
miktar belirmek için oluşturulmuş kalıp ifadelerdir.
A glass of coke = bir bardak kola
