A possessive noun is a noun that shows that something in the sentence belongs to that noun.
Examples:
I gave it to Jack's mother. I don't know the envelope's contents.
There are two types of pronouns that show possession. The possessive forms of pronouns do not use an apostrophe.
A possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.
The possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.
Example: The mother I gave it to was his.
A possessive adjective is placed before a noun to show that the noun belongs to someone or something.
The possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, her, their, its.
Example: I gave it to his mother.
A contraction is a word made up of two or more words that is a shortened form, with the missing letters replaced by an apostrophe.
Examples:
- can't (can not)
- could've (could have)
- he'd (he had)
- I'll (I will or I shall)
- it's (it is)
- ma'am (madam)
- ne'er do well (never do well)
- she's (she has)
- that's (that is)
- you've (you have)
