A singular possessive noun is a word that is just one person, place, thing, or idea that belongs to or is part of another word in the sentence. Examples:

Noun - Singular Possessive Use

boy - The boy's hat blew off in the wind.

mother - I made these cookies from mom'srecipe.

zoo - The zoo's entry fee has gone up.

liberty - "I lift my lamp beside the golden door!", refers to the Statue of Liberty's torch.

Answer

A singular noun is a word for one person, place, or thing. A possessive noun show that something belongs to that person, place, or thing. Possession is shown by adding an apostrophe 's' to the end of the noun (or just the apostrophe to the end of some words already ending with 's'); for example:

  • A man, a man's hat...
  • A city, a city's center...
  • A tree, a tree's roots...
