A possessive noun is indicated by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the noun or, adding just an apostrophe to the end of a plural noun that already ends with an s (s').
- A possessive noun indicates that something in the sentence belongs to that noun (a horse's age = the age of the horse).
- A group of words based on a noun is called a noun phrase.
- A noun phrase functions as a noun as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
Examples:
- The horse's age is four years. (subject of the sentence)
- The age that the horse's owner states is four years. (subject of the relative clause)
- The owner filled the horse's trough with water. (direct object of the verb 'filled')
- We struck a deal with the horse's owner. (object of the preposition 'with')
