Learn English – How to express the possession of multiple objects by one proper noun and one pronoun

possessivespronounssyntactic-analysis

As far as I can tell, my question is not a duplicate of either of these two similar questions. It is very close (maybe a duplicate, but I don't quite think so) of this question.

I want to construct a sentence, where there are two things each possessed by one of two people, one of whom is myself. The best I have come up with is something like:

Fred's and my houses are both green.

Two houses, two people (Fred and myself). I'm not sure how to phrase it at all!

I suppose I could go with a longer form like:

Fred's house is green and my house is also green.

But it would be nice if there was a shorter form.

Best Answer

Fred's house and mine are both green.
