A noun phrase is a group of words based on a noun that function together as a noun in a sentence.
Examples:
My bicycle is new. (the noun phrase 'my bicycle' as the subject of the sentence)
I bought my bicycle at Sears. (the noun phrase 'my bicycle' as the direct object of the verb 'bought')
A possessive noun is formed by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of a noun, or just an apostrophe (') the the end of a plural noun that already ends with an s.
Examples:
My bicycle's tire is flat. (the noun phrase 'my bicycle's tire' is the subject of the sentence)
I can fix my bicycle's tire myself. (the noun phrase 'my bicycle's tire' is the direct object of the verb 'can fix')
To change a noun phrase to possessive form, add an apostrophe and an "s" ('s) to the end of the noun. For example, "the cat's tail" or "Sarah's book." If the noun is plural and already ends in "s," just add an apostrophe after the "s" (s'). For example, "the girls' room" or "the dogs' leashes."
The possessive form for the noun survivor is survivor's.
The possessive form of "survivor" is "survivor's."
The plural possessive form of the noun "buzz" is "buzzes'".

To change a singular possessive noun to a plural possessive noun, first you must change the noun from a singular noun to a plural noun. The reason for this is that plural nouns can take different forms which will determine how the plural possessive is formed. Examples:A plural noun that ends with the letter s, just add an apostrophe after the ending s (s').singular noun, boy; plural noun, boys; plural possessive boys'An irregular plural noun that does not end with s, add anapostrophes ('s) to the end of the word.singular noun, child; plural noun, children; plural possessive children's
