Possessive case is a Grammatical Case that exists in some languages and is used to indicate a relationship of Possession . It is not the same as the Genitive Case , which can express a wider range of relationships, though the two have similar meanings in many languages. ''See Possession (linguistics) for a survey of the different categories of possession distinguished in languages.'' THE ENGLISH POSSESSIVE The term "possessive case" is often used to refer to the " 's " Morpheme , which is suffixed onto many nouns in English to denote possession. This categorization is arguably not strictly correct — some grammarians contend that this Affix is actually a Clitic . By descent, however, the English usage does stem from a case ending, Old English ''-es''. ''See Genitive Case for details.''
