Притяжательный падеж существительных.

Для обозначения принадлежности чего-то кому-то в английском языке (и в американском тоже) используется конструкция с предлогом "of" (This is the office of the attorney) или притяжательный падеж, на письме обозначающийся как "-'s" (This is the attorney's office). Притяжательный падеж чаще употребляется в разговорном английском. Например,

Here is the desk of Mr. Young. - Here is Mr. Young's desk.

I know the family of Mrs. Jones. - I know Mrs. Jones's family.

Обратите внимание на изменение в порядке слов в предложении, когда используется притяжательный падеж (форма "-'s"). Сначала упоминается владелец предмета, а затем сам предмет.
