    My friend and Ken's are not from the same word type.

    To tell the true, I still don't understand thouroughly, but your helps are very helpful!
    I think that you have been possessed or haunted by 'S!!!

    The car of Ken
    or
    The book of my friend

    Definitely no possessive case here! Except when you need to do so, and
    you must have good reasoning....Of course, you must master the English Grammar, or your version/translation would be very sloppy!!!

    Maybe you used strong language Manh Nguyen. The example The car of Ken's was taken from the book Round Up 5,p141 (www.longman.com). and I am not haunted!

    My apology!
    You have not been haunted, but we don't want to be blindfolded to accept it as is!
