What are all the possessive form?

Answer 1

There are two ways to form a possessive in English.

One is the use of an apostrophe (') to indicate possessive nouns.

Singular nouns that do not end with -s, add an apostrophe -s ('s) to the end of the word:

apple-> apple's

boy-> boy's

child-> child's

Singular nouns that do end with -s have two accepted ways of forming the possessive:

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

Plural nouns that do end with -s, add an apostrophe (') after the ending -s:

apples-> apples'

boys-> boys'

bosses-> bosses'

Plural nouns that do not end with -s form the possessive the same as singular nouns that do not end with -s, add an apostrophe -s ('s) to the end of the word:

children-> children's

people-> people's

mice-> mice's

The other way to indicate possession is to use the word "of," as in "the top of the table," which is equivalent to "the table's top." This method is the same way the possessive is formed in Romance languages.
