1. Mr. SP is my favorite teacher.2. He's my favorite. 3. I'm looking at my favorite's picture.?

Question

In the first sentence FAVORITE is an adj.

In the second sentence it is a noun.

In the third sentence it is also a noun, it means: I'm looking at my teacher's picture. Is the third sentence right or wrong? Why?

Answer 1

nouns are people, places or things. "favorite's" meaning the picture pertaining to your favorite which is the teacher, right? so yes, "favorite's" would be your noun...a person (teacher) and thing (favorite).

Answer 2

The third sentence is right -- it is a noun, a possessive noun that possesses something else, namely, the quality of having been photographed.

Actually, in the second sentence it is a noun also.

Answer 3

It is a possessive noun.
