    Topic 5: Possessive Nouns

    A possessive noun shows ownership or possession. It indicates that


    something belongs to someone or something.

    How to Form Possessive Nouns:

    1. For Singular Nouns:

    o Add an apostrophe + "s" ('s).

    o Example: dog's, Maria's

    o Sentence: The dog's collar is red.

    2. For Plural Nouns Ending in -s:

    o Add only an apostrophe (").

    o Example: dogs', teachers'

    o Sentence: The dogs' toys are scattered on the floor.

    3. For Plural Nouns Not Ending in -s:

    o Add an apostrophe + "s" ('s).

    o Example: children's, men's

    o Sentence: The children's playground is newly built.

    Uses of Possessive Nouns:

     To show ownership:

    o Example: That is John's bike.

     To indicate relationships:

    o Example: She is Anna's sister.

     To describe parts of something:

    o Example: The car's engine needs repair.

    Possessive Pronouns vs. Possessive Nouns:

     Possessive Pronouns do not use an apostrophe (e.g., his, hers,


    theirs).

     Possessive Nouns use an apostrophe to show ownership (e.g., John's,


    teachers').
    Mastering possessive nouns is essential for clear and effective
    communication in both writing and speech.
