A possessive noun is a type of noun.
A possessive noun modifies a noun that functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
Examples:
- Her mother's cookies are the best. (the possessive noun "mother's" modifies the subject of the sentence "cookies")
- The cookies that Sandra's mother made were the hit of the party. (the possessive noun "Sandra's" modifies the subject of the relative clause "mother")
- Have you tasted her mother's cookies? (the possessive noun "mother's" modifies the direct object of the verb "cookies")
- I will ask Sandra for her mother's recipe. (the possessive noun "mother's" modifies the object of the preposition "for", "recipe")
