    The document provides examples and exercises to practice using Saxon genitive (possessive 's) to indicate possession. It notes that John's computer means a computer belonging to John, not a computer of John's. Similarly, Martha's friend means a friend belonging to Martha, not a friend of Martha's. The exercises provide sentences using possessive nouns and ask the reader to rewrite them using Saxon genitive instead. For example, for the sentence "Tom has got green eyes", the exercise asks to rewrite it as "Tom's eyes are green".
