To form the possessive of a singular noun, add 's (apostrophe + s) at the end of the word. For plural nouns that do not end with an s, also add 's. For plural nouns that end with an s, just add an apostrophe after the s.
A plural possessive noun will usually end in an apostrophe followed by an "s" ('s), whereas a singular possessive noun will end in just an apostrophe ('). Plural nouns simply indicate more than one of something, while possessive nouns show ownership or relationship to something else. To determine the form of the noun, consider both its plurality and its relationship to another noun in the sentence.
