Rule 7: Possessive Adjectives and the Genitive


We run into a bit of a problem when we want to use an adjective to modify a possessive adjective, since the personal pronoun can't be used to show possession. So instead we take that adjective and put it into the genitive case so that it agrees with the implied pronoun. It's a bit of complicated grammar, but I hope I did a good job of explaining it well.
