What is the possessive form for precious?

Answer 1

The possessive form of "precious" is "precious's" or "precious'." When a singular noun ending in "s" is made possessive, you can add just an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "Charles' book"). However, if adding another "s" sound after the apostrophe is more comfortable for pronunciation, you can include it (e.g., "James's car"). Both forms are considered correct, so choose the one that fits best with the overall flow of your sentence.
