Singular possessives are formed by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of a noun. For example:

  • mother; mother's car
  • bird; the bird's nest
  • book; the book's title

There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns ending in s:

Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word; for example, "Put it on the boss' desk."

Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word; for example, "Put it on the boss's desk."

For plural nouns that end in -s, the possessive are formed by adding an apostrophe after the existing -s (s'); for irregular plural nouns that don't end with -s, the possessive is formed by adding the apostrophe s ('s), the same as for singular nouns. for example:

  • the books' titles
  • the mothers' meeting
  • the women's meeting
  • The children's playground

The punctuation for a possessive noun is an apostrophe ('). For example, "The dog's leash" shows possession because the leash belongs to the dog.
