💡 The "Possessive" Pattern
When we talk about people and their things, we add 's to the name. Look at these examples from the text:
- The company's tool (The tool belonging to the company)

How to use it: Name + 's + Object
- Example: SpaceX's deal The deal belongs to SpaceX.

- Started (Action finished)
- Worked (Action finished)
- Was (State in the past)
The Present (Now)
- Is buying (Happening now)
