Why and What is Double Possessive

In English n。we cannot say "my this hand" (both "my" and "this" cannot be placed before "hand")。Therefore。we need to use double possessive。such as "this hand of mine" ("of" is the first possessive and "mine" is the second possessive。making this phrase a double possessive)。Due to the ___ "determiners (such as articles and pronouns)" and "possessive pronouns indicating people" cannot modify a noun at the same time。we need to use double possessive.

Structure or Form of Double Possessive

The form of double possessive is: ___.

___:

Articles: a。an (generally not used in double possessive with "the").

She is their friend。(It cannot be ___.)

Those classmates of his are very fond of him。(Emphasizes that the classmates who like him are only some of his classmates。indicating that there are other ___.)

of his classmates like him.)

解析】：双重所有格中，表示有生命的单数名词的所有格常在后加’s，而且后面的名词不需要加the。因此排除A和C。又因为___是一个人，是有生命的，所以选B，即“my sister’s student”。可以简化为“a student of my sister”的形式，但必须加上’s。
