What abbreviation does a possessive noun use?

Answer 1

Possessive nouns do not use abbreviations. An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word using a period to indicate that it is abbreviated, for example:

• add. = address (the the verb to add)
• i.e. = id est (Latin for that is)
• obs. = obsolete (not more than one ob)

Possessive nouns are formed by adding an 's to the end of a singular noun or just the apostrophe to the end of plural nouns already ending is s, for example:

• Jim's bicycle
• the boys' bicycles
• the children's bicycles

Abbreviations are designed to shorten a word, possessive nouns add on to a noun to show possession.

Answer 2

A possessive noun uses an apostrophe before the "s" to show ownership or possession, often shortening the written form of the phrase. For example, "Linda's car" is the possessive form of the noun "car" belonging to Linda.
