Possessive ’s

Professor Eneida Bonilla

 Possessive ’s and s’

We use possessive ’s and s’ to show possession

 
For an item or items belonging to one person, add
's to the name or noun.

Add 's to singular nouns

Example: The student’s glasses. (One student is the

owner of the glasses)
The teacher’s marker/markers.
The classroom’s door.

The possessive 's always comes after a noun or a name.

 Add 's to names
Mr. Pineda’s marker.
Emma’s pencil.

When something belongs to more than one person and we

give a list of names, we put 's on the last name.

Example:  Maria and Carla's house.

If a name or noun (singular) ends in s, we can add
either ' or ’s.

Example: James' bag / James’s bag

Carlos’ bus / Carlos’s bus
boss's office
With irregular plural nouns we use ’s

men women children people

Example:  They're my children's bicycles.

 Possessive ’
With regular plural nouns, we use s'.

Add ’ to regular plural nouns (ending in -s)

Example:
The teachers’ markers.
The students’ books.
(More than one student is the owner of the books)
