Grammarians have sometimes condemned categorically the so-called double genitive construction, as in a friend of my father's; a book of mine. The construction is well supported by literary precedent, however, and serves a useful purpose. Thus there is no substitute for the double genitive in a sentence such as That's the only friend of yours that I've ever met, since sentences such as That's your only friend that I've ever met and That's your only friend, whom I've ever met are obviously impossible.
語法學家有時譴責這種範疇上的雙重所有格形式，如我父親的朋友；我的壹本書 。 這種結構為許多文學先進所支持，認為它們是很有用的。在壹個如那是我曾經遇到的妳唯壹的朋友 的句子中雙重所有格是沒有替代式的， 因為句子如那是我曾遇到的妳唯壹的朋友 和 那是唯壹壹個我曾遇到的妳的朋友 顯然是完全不壹樣的
