What is the definition for a possessive noun?

Answer 1

Possessive nouns are nouns that show something belongs to that noun. The standard method of showing possession is to add an apostrophe 's' to the end of the noun or some words already ending with an 's', to add an apostrophe after the ending 's'. Examples:

• the apple's color
• the baby's bottle
• the car's tires
• the dress's style
• the elves' mischief
• the fence's post

Answer 2

A possessive noun is a noun that shows ownership or possession. It is usually formed by adding an apostrophe and the letter "s" ('s) to the noun. For example, "Sarah's cat" shows that the cat belongs to Sarah.
