What is the possessive form of a noun?

Answer 1

The possessive form of a noun shows that something belongs to that noun. The most common way that nouns are made possessive is to add an apostrophe 's' to the end of the word or to add just the apostrophe if the word already ends with an 's'. There are also a variety of other forms of plurals that are called irregular possessive nouns. Some examples of regular possessive nouns:

• boy, the boy's shoe
• John, John's book
• chairs, the chairs' seats
• eggs, the eggs' shells

Some examples of irregular possessive nouns:

• Gus, Gus's brother
• glass, the glass's capacity
• princess, the princess's party

Answer 2

The possessive form of a noun indicates ownership or association. It is created by adding an apostrophe and an "s" ('s) to the noun. For example, "the dog's bone" shows that the bone belongs to the dog.
