Genitive Case

[Jesule]

Hello!. How are you? Thank you very much again!

Can I use the genitive in this sentence?



1.- He is at the end of a corridor.

2.- He is at a corridor´s end.


In the non-genitive way is correct too, isn´t it?


Have a marvelous Saturday night!

Did you learn it as "the genitive case"? That isn't really a good term for it. I prefer to talk about "the possessive form".

There is a general rule -- although it's not a very strict one -- that you use the possessive form for people and often animals, and the construction with "of" for inanimate objects. Like this:

The business-woman's briefcase.
The handle of the briefcase.

Both your sentences are okay, but sentence 1 sounds much, much better.
