Posses vs possession [on hold]












-2















Is it better "I have something in my posses" or "I have something in my possession"? or are both OK?
The first possibility sounds a little more hi-brow to me...

The second sentence is the correct one. Possession is a noun, whereas possess is a verb and the noun is what you are looking for here.



According to Merriam Webster, the definition of the word possession is as follows:




the act of having or taking into control




or




something owned, occupied, or controlled

    The first usage is not correct. To posses is an action, posses is a verb. Something that I do posses is my possession, at least for now. The second sentence is correct, "I have something in my possession."
