What to Focus On
- Possession shows ownership or belonging.
- We use an apostrophe (’) to show possession.
- Most singular nouns add ’s to show possession.
- For singular nouns: add ’s
- Even if the noun ends in 's', we can use ’s (e.g., James’s book)
- The apostrophe comes before the 's' when showing possession
- Plural nouns ending in 's': add only ’ (e.g., boys’ hostel)
- Plural nouns not ending in 's': add ’s (e.g., children’s books)
- Always check if the noun is singular or plural before adding the apostrophe
Common Mistakes to Avoid
If a word ends in 's', we never add '’s' to show possession.
Plural nouns that don’t end in 's' take an apostrophe + 's'.
Apostrophe (’) is used only for contractions, not for possession.
