    We use 's to show possession or relationships between people or pets, such as Peter's father or my cat's ears. The possessive 's is also used for shops and houses, like going to John's house or the chemist's shop. When talking about things rather than people or pets, we use of instead of 's, such as the end of the street or a picture of the eclipse.
