FAQs & Answers
- What is a possessive noun? A possessive noun shows ownership, often formed by adding an apostrophe followed by 's' or just an apostrophe for plural nouns ending in 's'.
- How do I form the possessive of plural nouns? For plural nouns that already end in 's', add an apostrophe at the end (e.g., 'the cats' toys'). For plural nouns that do not end in 's', add 's' after the apostrophe (e.g., 'children's books').
- Can you give examples of possessive nouns? Sure! Examples include 'the dog's leash' for singular, and 'the women's jackets' for plural.
