Possesives

What is
it?
Is a noun that shows ownership, usually identified by ’s.
For example, in the phrase the “student’s notes”, the word student’s is a
possessive noun, showing that the notes belong to the student.

We normally use ‘s with people or animals, although we can also use it

with time expressions, shops, or places (cities, countries, etc.) and
organizations.
What's the
difference?
Typically, singular possessive nouns use an apostrophe ( ’ ) and the letter s at the end
of the word to take the possessive form. Almost any noun can become possessive,
even abstract nouns.
dog -> dog’s
Maria -> Maria’s
the
1 Empire State Building -> the Empire State Building’s
What's the
difference?
in English, we also add s to the end of words to make them plural. So the apostrophe
can determine whether a noun is possessive or plural, as in the case with boys versus
boy’s.
In these examples, boys means more than one boy (plural), but boy’s means one boy
has ownership over something (singular possessive).
