The simple basic rule is :
- For the singular - add 's (apostrophe s): The boy's ball or the ball of the boy.
- For plural words ending in s - add ' (apostrophe only): The boys' ball or the ball of the boys. Plural nouns that do not end in S use the apostrophe-s form (e.g. children's).
The most common error is to add apostrophe-s to a pronoun to show possession, as in "it's cover". This is wrong, pronouns do not use an apostrophe to show possession.. The correct form is "its cover". Only use it's to mean it is.
Typically, to form the possessive form of a noun, we add an apostrophe and an "s" at the end of the noun. For example, "dog's bone" or "cat's tail." However, if the noun is irregular, already ends in "s," or is a plural noun, we only add an apostrophe at the end. For instance, "James' car," "girls' school," or "dogs' toys."
To convert a singular noun into a plural possessive form, simply add an apostrophe after the "s" of the plural form of the noun. For example, "dog" becomes "dogs'" in its plural possessive form.
The possessive forms of most singular nouns are formed by adding an apostrophe followed by the letter "s" to the noun. For example, the possessive form of ramp is ramp's, and the possessive form of helicopter is helicopter's.Remember that the possessive form of it is its, with no apostrophe. One of the most common errors is to assume that as a possessive form, it should have an apostrophe. The word "it's", however, is a contraction of "it is", and not the possessive form of the pronoun it.
