What to Focus On

  • Possession means 'belonging to'.
  • We use an apostrophe (') to show possession.
  • The apostrophe + s ('s) shows that something belongs to someone.
  • Add 's to singular nouns.
  • Even if the noun ends in 's', we still add 's.
  • The apostrophe comes before the s in 's'.
  • Plural nouns ending in 's' → Add only ' (apostrophe)
  • Plural nouns not ending in 's' → Add 's
  • Examples: soldiers' guns, children's books

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We always add 's to show possession for singular nouns, even if it sounds awkward.

All plural nouns take only an apostrophe (') at the end to show possession.

If a name ends with 's', we only add an apostrophe, never 's'.

Memory Tips
