The basic rules for forming possessive nouns are:
SINGULAR NOUNS
Singular possessive nouns are formed by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of a noun.
Example: I used my grandma's recipe for the cake.
There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns ending in s:
Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word: Thomas'
Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word: Thomas's
Examples:
I like Thomas' new bicycle.
I like Thomas's new bicycle.
PLURAL NOUNS
Plural nouns ending in s form the possessive by adding an apostrophe (') after the s at the end of the word.
Plural noun that do not end in s form the possessive by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the word.
Examples:
The books' covers were damaged in storage.
The children's coats all hung in a row.
The contraction "who'd" can mean either "who had" or "who would" depending on the context in which it is used.
