What is a plural possessive?

Answer 1

A plural possessive is a noun form for two or more people or things (a plural noun) that shows something in the sentence belongs to those people or things. The possessive form can be either singular or plural.

A singular possessive is formed by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the word.

A plural possessive, for plurals that end in S, is formed by adding just an apostrophe (') after the S at the end of the word. Plural nouns that don't end in S (irregular plurals) form the possessive in the usual way, with an apostrophe S ('s) added to the end of the word.

Example singular: Something belonging to one cat: the cat's toy (apostrophe s)

Example plural: Something belonging to two or more cats: the cats' home, the cats' dishes (apostrophe only)

Example irregular plural: Something belonging to two or more children: a children's playground.

Answer 2

A plural possessive is a grammatical form used to show ownership or belonging of more than one person or thing to a particular noun. It is formed by adding an apostrophe after the plural noun ending in "s". For example, "The students' books" shows that the books belong to more than one student.
