 Possessive nouns indicate possession or ownership.

That means that they help

indicate when something
belongs to someone.

For example: I am the

girl’s bear

Noun + ‘ + S

 There are some very simple rules:

• POSSESSIVE NOUNS are super important when we speak

English.
• In Spanish we say: ‘The house of my mother’ to indicate that the
house belongs to my mother.
• But in English it is not used and can sound strange.

 •We add ‘S for singular nouns

This is Harry’s pet

 We add only the apostrophe ‘
for singular nouns ending in ‘s’

This is Albus’ pet

 We add only the apostrophe ‘
for plural nouns ending in ‘s’

 To show possession for two or more people
we add ‘s or ‘ after the last person’s name.

He is Lucius and Narcissa’s son.
