This exercise gives practice in identifying genitives (possession), along with nominatives (subjects and pred. nom.'s) and accusatives (direct objects).

The farmer's slaves are not happy. The shoes of the slaves are worn out. The slaves don't like the tools of the farmer. They are old and rusty.

Some of the crops need to be watered. The slaves do not like to water the crops because one of the slaves is a clown and pours water all over the place. The rest of the slaves do not like clowns.
