Singular possessive nouns are easy.

If a person, place or thing owns something all


you have to do is add an ’s. Here are some examples:

Sandra’s dog is very cute.

The boss’s car is orange.

The jam’s ingredients are blackberry and blueberry.

Plural possessive nouns show ownership when there is more than one of a noun. To
show ownership where there is more than one noun you can simply add an s’ to the
end of a word. Here are some examples:

The kittens’ toys are everywhere.


There is more than one kitten in this instance.

All of the books’ pages are ruined.


There is more than one book in this instance.

There is one exception to this rule. If a plural noun does not end in an s then you
would simply add an ’s. For example, since the plural noun women does not end in an
s you would add an ’s to show possession.

The women’s shoes are very expensive.
