Possessive nouns are used to indicate possession.
By Michioflavia
Possessive nouns ordinarily are formed by adding an apostrophe (') and s. Examples: Jack’s
pen Kate’s bike Grandfather’s glasses By Michioflavia
When a noun is plural and ends in s, just add an apostrophe ('). Examples: The
kids' toys My parents’ car The teachers’ room By Michioflavia
If two people possess one thing, add the apostrophe and s to the second person only. Examples: Jack
and Jane's new television Peter and Susan's wedding James and Mike's car By Michioflavia
If two people own separate things, add the apostrophe and s for each person. Examples: Sarah's
and Bell’s pens Julia's and Jim's pants Betty's and Johnny’s bags By Michioflavia
