A singular noun is a word for one person, place, or thing.
A plural noun is a word for two or more people, places, or things.
A possessive noun is a noun indicating ownership or possession.
Possessives are formed by adding an apostrophe -s to the end of the word, or just an apostrophe to plural nouns that already end with -s.
Example singular possessive nouns:
the cover of the book = the book's cover
the teacher of our class = our class's teacher
the coat of the child = the child's coat
the shoes of the man = the man's shoes
the house of the neighbor = my neighbor's house
Example 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 possessive is also used as shorthand for something that does not literally belong to that person or thing, possessives are used in place of 'of' or 'for'. Examples:
The ladies' room does not belong to ladies, it means that it is designated for the use of ladies.
A store that sells men's suits doesn't sell suits that belong to some men, it sells suits for men.
A book of Shakespeare's plays are not plays that belong to Mr. Shakespeare, they are plays written by him.
