How you spell "the" if its used in a possesive adverbial form? My mom says put an "s" on the end.

Answer 1

Articles are conjugated for possessive heads, but vary depending on the adverb. Give an example of a sentence constructed in the way you're thinking, and I can edit this answer.

Possible conjugations of "the":
This
These
That
Those
Them

Answer 2

It's only ever used as 'the'. It cannot be used in a possessive adverbial form. An adverb is a word to describe a verb life fast in 'running fast'. The word 'the' is a demonstrative adjective known as the definite article used to refer to a particular person or thing. It never has a letter 's' added.

Answer 3

Thes is not a word. Plain and simple. The is used to indicate one object. These or those indicates plural objects. in the possessive adverbial form, the remains the.

Answer 4

There is NO possessive adverbial form of an article. An article cannot possess anything.

Answer 5

There is no such word as "thes." Thats merely your mother's accent. Just like where I'm from a lot of people don't put the "g" on the end of words ending in "ing."

Parking lot becomes Parkin' lot

Answer 6

The is only spelt one way. Your mom obviously doesnt speak english as a first language. The. These. Those. They. Them. Their. Thes is not a word.

Answer 7

"The" is an article, not a noun, and therefore cannot be possessive.

You can say "the cat's meow" or "the student's answer", but it's impossibly to say "the's answer."

Answer 8

You never add "s" alone to the, unless you are going to say "these." It just wouldn't make sense.

Answer 9

The's.

The ammount of the's appearing in her essay made it rather annoying to read.

Answer 10

i think you should give us an example of what you mean.
