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.
