When do you use an aprostrophe behind a noun?

An apostrophe is used to make a noun into a possessive noun. By adding an "apostrophe s" to the end of a word, or if the word already ends with an "s", you only add the "apostrophe" after the existing "s" at the end of the word to show that something in the sentence belongs to that noun.The apostrophe or apostrophe s shows possession.

What is the use of the apostrophe in this sentence billy's?

Where does the apostrophe goes if the sentence shows ownership?

Find the owner. The owner may be singular or plural. Put the apostrophe straight after the owner. If the owner is singular, then add an S.For example: the dogs breakfast. Who owned the breakfast? If it was the (one) dog, then write the owner (the dog), add the apostrophe AFTER it (the dog') and then put an s after that (the dog's). Correct sentence: "I made the dog's breakfast."If the owner of the breakfast was several dogs, then write the plural owner (the dogs), then add the apostrophe AFTER it (the dogs'). You don't need another S. Correct sentence: "I made the dogs' breakfast."Other examples:After breakfast I made the children's beds. (several children)After lunch I painted the dog's kennel. (one dog).After school I went to the teachers' office. (several teachers)After school I went to the principal's office. (one principal)There is an exception: If a singular owner ends in an S, you usually do NOT add another S after the apostrophe (Mr Jones' car. Jesus' teachings. James' hat.)

What is a possessive noun and how can it be used in a sentence?

A possessive noun shows that something in the sentence belongs to that noun; this is indicated by an apostrophe -sadded to the end of the word or, for some words that already ends with an -s, an apostrophe is added after the s at the end of the word.Example sentences:The book's cover is torn.All of the books' covers are torn.Chris's glasses are missing.The glasses' case is blue and red.I realize that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to when you use the apostrophe -s or just the apostrophe after an existing -s. The best way to tell is to say the word; if you say it with the extra syllable, then add the apostrophe -s; if you don't pronounce an extra syllable, just add the apostrophe.
