Possessive Form of Nouns with Example
Please if you can help my kid about the possessive form of nouns. Could you give a hand with examples like “Sarah’s book” and “the dogs’ toys”? Just want to make sure they’re getting it right. Thanks!

Greetings to you, dohaxi_poly.


The possessive form of a noun is used to show possession, ownership, or another form of association of a noun to other words in a sentence. It is usually made by adding an apostrophe-s ('s) after a noun.


Examples:

1. Alan's computer (singular noun + 's + noun)

> My computer broke down yesterday so I am using Alan's computer today.

2. The horses' hooves (plural noun + apostrophe + noun)

> The horses' hooves are noisily going down the pavement around the plaza.

3. The teacher's new smartphone (noun + 's + adjective + noun)

> The teacher's new smartphone isn't working after it fell down the stairs earlier.

4. Ryan's and Cathy's moms (two nouns that relate to different things)

> Ryan's and Cathy's moms studied at the same university.

5. Ana and Amy's mom (two nouns that relate to the same thing)

> Ana and Amy's mom works as a doctor at the nearby hospital.
