A possessive case noun is written to indicate that something belongs to that noun. An 's', an apostrophe 's', or an 's' apostrophe is added to the word to show possession. Example:
Singular possessive noun, use the apostrophe 's':
Mary's car is in the shop. (the car belongs to Mary)
The book's cover was torn. (the cover belongs to the book)
When a singular noun that already ends with 's', the possessive form places the apostrophe after the existing 's':
Gus' boss gave him the day off. (the boss of Gus)
The cutlass' blade needed sharpening. (the blade of the cutlass)
When the plural noun ends in 's', the possessive form places the apostrophe after the existing 's':
The vandals had smashed all the cars' windshields in the lot. (the windshields of the cars)
The cookies' edges were all a bit burnt. (the edges of the cookies)
Some plural nouns don't use an 's' for the plural; they use the apostrophe 's', the same as a singular noun:
All of the cattle's hooves were trimmed and checked for rot. (the hooves of the cattle)
