Explicație:

• Forma posesivă este folosită pentru a vorbi despre lucruri care aparțin unei persoane, obiect sau animal.
• Genitivul dublu apare atunci când găsim două posesive împreună în aceeași propoziție.
• Formăm cazul posesiv cu genitiv dublu punând prepoziția of înaintea unui substantiv care se termină în 's (sau în situații de genul of + possessive pronoun)

Exemplu:

• This is a brother of Amy's.
• The doctor is a friend of mine.
