Possessive Nouns

What are possessive nouns in grammar?

A possessive noun can be common or proper

Add an apostrophe and -s to make a singular noun possessive, even when the noun ends in s.

        Douglas’s bicycle
        the bus’s door

Plural Possessive Nouns

A possessive noun is plural when it names more than one owner. 

If a plural noun is regular and ends in -s, add an apostrophe to make it possessive.

If a plural noun is irregular and does not end in -s, add an apostrophe and -s to make it possessive.
