00Mary's house ( no article before Mary) You can say the Simpson's house ( In this case, Mary Simpson and John Simpson, who are husband and wife or who are sister and brother.) 02br

00 I would use 01b00at Mary’s house02b00 because it sounds a little more natural. With the other version people usually use verbs=>01b00at the house of-verb02b00-(sadness, torture, happiness).02br

10First of all, don't use 01i00the02i00 if you use a person's name with 01i00's02i00. That is, don't use 01i00the Mary's0

00Sorry, I have to make a correction here. If John and Mary Simpson share the house, then it's "the Simpson01b00s'02b00 house." It's s-apostrophe not apostrop
