First, decide how many objects are owned.
If one item is possessed, remain here.
If several items are possessed you need to
check that the number of objects is qualified but not quantified.
That is if we have "some" but you don't know the exact number.
If you know the exact number, remain here.
If there are "some", "many", etc, then
go to
the multiple objectspage.
Then, select the owner of the object.
The owner is either I, you, he/she/it, we, you (pl), or they.
Finally, apply the relevant endings.
