Possessives




Possessives : Grammar and Spelling Tips




• To form a possessive from a singular noun, add an apostrophe followed by s: the girl's book.


• Add an apostrophe to plurals ending in s: the girls’ books.


• If a plural noun does not end in s, add an apostrophe followed by s: the children's toys.


• Also add an apostrophe to a name ending in -es that is pronounced like the word is: Moses' mother.
