What is possessive form of a plural noun?

Answer 1

A plural possessive form is a plural noun (a word for two or more people or things) showing that something in a sentence belongs to that noun. A plural noun is formed by adding an apostrophe (') to the end of a plural noun that already ends with s, or an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of an irregular plural noun that does not end with s.

Examples plural possessive nouns:

• the covers of the books = the books' covers
• the assembly of classes = the classes' assembly
• the coats of the children = the children's coats
• shoes for men = men's shoes
• the houses of the neighbors = the neighbors' houses
• the backyard barbecue at the Morrises = the Morrises' backyard barbecue

Answer 2

To form the possessive form of a plural noun, add an apostrophe after the 's'. For example, "students'" shows that the students possess something.
