Homework: prepare an ad / product page for something you want to sell. Include the information from p. 113 parts 1 and part 4, and check with the questions in part 5. (However, you can sell this item on the website you designed today instead of eBay.)

p. 116 part 2 - with your partner write the correct determiner (2), possessive (1), or article (including zero article)
1 The (/Those) (specific days, not present)
2 - (TVs in general)
3 -
4 each (/every) (“each” one separately, “every” one emphasizes all of them)
5 a
6 their
7 a
8 The (specific department)
9 the (not all energy, not some nonspecific energy, but the specific energy from TVs)
10 - / the
11 every (/each) (“every” emphasizes that it’s all of them)
12 a (/one) (/y/, /r/, and /w/ are always consonants at the beginnings of words)
13 the
14 - (TV power use in general)
15 A
16 the
17 a
18 a

the + technology/species/body part = this thing in general

a TV’s picture settings - “a TV’s” is the possessive determiner for the whole noun phrase
“TV” is a singular noun, so it also needs an article.
noun phrase = possessive + noun
possessive = (noun phrase) + ’s

My old car’s radio broke.
“My old car’s” is the possessive for “radio”.
“My” is the possessive for “old car”.

Greg’s sister’s best friend’s boyfriend’s dad’s car’s radio is really nice.
