1. Possessive Nouns

2. Definition:
A possessive form of a noun can show possession, ownership, or the general relationship between two nouns.

3. Singular Nouns
When a noun is singular, add -’s EVEN if the singular noun already ends in “s”
Example:
Car  car’s
Mr. Bass  Mr. Bass’s

4. Plural Nouns
When you have a plural noun that ends in “s,” just add an apostrophe
Example:
Coroners  coroners’
Teachers  teachers’

5. Plural Nouns When a plural noun does NOT end in “s,” add -’s Example:
Women  women’s
Sheep  sheep’s

6. Joint Ownership
If two people or things own one thing together, you only add ‘s to the last noun.
Example:
Kimberly and Brent’s house went up for sale.

7. Separate Ownership
When two nouns have separate ownership of two different things, add ‘s to the end of each of them
Example:
Kimberly’s and Brent’s socks got lost in the dryer.
