Ensure clarity by using possessive forms to indicate ownership and contractions to convey informal speech.
Possessive nouns are formed to indicate ownership or relationship, typically by adding an apostrophe and an "s" (e.g., "the dog's leash").

Both concepts are essential in language for expressing relationships and conveying complex ideas clearly.
