How do you make a plural noun possessive?

In most cases, the possessive is formed by adding the apostrophe after the 's' at the end of the word, for example cats becomes cats' or parents becomes parents'. An exception to this rule is irregular plurals that don't have the 's' at the end of the word, you add the apostrophe 's', for example children becomes children's or mice becomes mice's.


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 rule when adding an apostrophe's to a word to indicate possession?

To show something is possessed by one owner, add an apostrophe and the letter 's' to the owner. e.g. the cat's milk. (the milk belongs to the cat) To show possession of plural owners you usually only need to add an apostrophe as most plurals already end in 's'. If the plural doesn't end in 's' then add the apostrophe followed by the 's'.
