How do you form possessive of a singular noun?

Answer 1

A singular noun that does not end with s forms the possessive by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the word.

Examples:

car => car's

Andrea => Andrea's

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.

Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word.

Examples:

James => James' or James's

bus => bus' or bus's

Answer 2

To form the possessive of a singular noun, you usually add an apostrophe followed by the letter "s" ('s) to the noun. For example, "dog's bone" or "Jennifer's book." If the noun already ends in "s," you can either add just an apostrophe or an apostrophe followed by another "s," depending on the style guide you follow.
