Possessive Case
The possessive form of a noun shows possession or ownership.
For singular nouns, we add the apostrophe and the letters to show possession.
Examples,
- Riaz‘s book
- the girl‘s dress
- the child‘s sock
For plural nouns, we add the apostrophe to the plural noun to show possession.
Examples,
- the girls’ bags
- the students’ books
- the boys’ clothes
For irregular plurals, we add the apostrophe and the letter s to show possession.
Examples,
- men‘s coat
- the children‘s toys
- the women‘s clothes
For nouns that end in s, we add the apostrophe to show possession.
Examples,
- Burns’ poems
- Keats’ poems
- the boss’ coffee
The possessive case of nouns is formed by adding ‘s to a noun denoting a person or an animal. It shows possession or ownership.
