🔹Conscience

✨I recycle everything I can, so my conscience is clear!
✨Let your conscience be your guide.

✨A clear conscience is a soft pillow might mean that you will sleep better when your conscience is clear. A clear conscience would make it easier to sleep, in the same way that a soft pillow would make it more comfortable to sleep

♦️شرح قاعدة s الملكية في اللغة الانجليزية
( Possessive ‘s )
🔹في الجملة
✨ These are Maher‘s books
أضفنا على الكلمة Maher اشارة التمليك s’ وقلنا أنها بمثابة صك تمليك لماهر. وحالة التملك هذه تدعى
🔹Possessive Case or Genitive Case.🔹
كذلك نستطيع أن نقول :
✨These are the books of Maher
والكلمة of تنوب عن s’ الملكية.
♦️كيفيةتمليك الاسم:
🔹1- اذا كان الاسم مفرداً غير منتهِ ب s أضفنا على آخره s’ التمليك. مثال ذلك:
فستان الطفلة
✨ The child’s dress
ابن الرجل
✨The man’s son
🔹2- اذا كان الاسم جمعاً منتهِ ب s الجمع عندها نضيف فقط الفاصلة العلية لـ التملك ( ‘ ) وليس s’ وذلك للتخفيف من ثقل لفظ حرفي s متتاليين . مثال ذلك:
والديّ الفتيات
✨The girls’ parents
حليب الأطفال
✨The babies’ milk
غرفة المدرسين
✨The teachers’ room
🔹3- اذا كان الاسم جمعاً غير منتهِ ب s مثل children و women عندها نضيف s’ الملكية. مثال ذلك:
حديقة الأطفال
✨The children’s garden
قبعات النساء
✨The women’s hats
🔹4- هناك أسماء في اللغة الانجليزية وهي قليلة جداً منها James و Charles ولكنها مألوفة لدى الانجليز , هاتان الكلمتان تأخذان s’ بالرغم من وجود s أصلية في الكلمة. مثال ذلك :
نحن سنزور كنيسة سانت جيمس في لندن
✨We are visiting Saint James’s church in London
حملت بعض كتب شارلز
✨I carried some of Charles’s books
🔹5- اذا كان الاسم متبوعاً بالبدل تضاف s على البدل . مثال:
هذه دراجة ابني زياد
✨This is my son Ziyad’s bicycle
يأتينا الخبز يومياً في فان (سيارة) الخباز جون
✨The bread comes to us daily in Jones the baker’svan
ونلاحظ في الجمل السابقة بأن زياد بدل من ابني وكذلك الخباز بدل من Jones
ولكن لاحظ الجملة التالية:
تحدثنا إلى ليلى ابنة الخياط
✨We spoke to Layla, the tailor’s daughter
في هذه الجملة وضعنا فاصلة بعد الكلمة Layla لأن ليلى والخياط شخصان مختلفان .أي أن كلمة الخياط ليستبدلاً من Layla.
