Possessive Nouns…A possessive noun is a noun that shows ownership. To “possess” means to own or to have.
I am Bob and this is my towel.
![Page 42: Nothing but Nouns](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813d0a550346895da6ba52/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Possessive Nouns…To show ownership, an apostrophe is used.
Most people have a hard time putting the apostrophe in the correct place!
The rule for the apostrophe depends on whether the noun is singular or plural.
![Page 43: Nothing but Nouns](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813d0a550346895da6ba52/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Possessive Singular Nouns
Use an apostrophe with -s for possessives of singular nouns. SINGULAR MEANS ONE.Use an apostrophe plus -s to show the possessive form of a singular noun, even if that singular noun already ends in -s:
Frank’s crayon my friend’s dadRobert Frost’s poetry today's weather report the boss's problem Star Jones's talk show That boy’s shirt
I am one boy and
this is my shirt.
![Page 44: Nothing but Nouns](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813d0a550346895da6ba52/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Possessive Plural NounsUse an apostrophe without an -s for most possessives plural nouns.
PLURAL MEANS MORE THAN ONE.To form the possessive of a plural noun that already ends in -s, add an apostrophe:
the girls' swing set (the swing set belonging to the girls) the students' projects (the projects belonging to the students) the Johnsons' house (the house belonging to the Johnsons)
If the plural noun does not end in -s, add an apostrophe plus -s:
women's conference (the conference belonging to the women) the children's toys (the toys belonging to the children) the men's training camp (the training camp belonging to the men)
![Page 45: Nothing but Nouns](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813d0a550346895da6ba52/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Singular Possessive vs. Plural Possessive
Basically….
The project belonging to one student: (singular)
The student’s project
The apostrophe comes before the s.
The project belonging to more than one student: (plural)
The students’ project
The apostrophe comes after the s.
![Page 46: Nothing but Nouns](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813d0a550346895da6ba52/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Singular Possessive vs. Plural Possessive
Finally….
The shoes belonging to one woman:
WOMAN’S SHOES
The shoes belonging to many women:
WOMEN’S SHOES
The apostrophe comes before the s because the noun is a collective group and has no s on the end. It would be “ladies’ shoes if the base word was lady.:
Lady’s shoes (the shoes belonging to one lady)Ladies’ shoes (the shoes belonging to more than one lady.
