If the singular form of the noun does end ins, add only the
apostrophe (’).


You can apply the same rule to plural possessive nouns.
If the plural form of the noun doesn’t end ins, add an apostrophe
followed by the letter s (’s).


If the plural form of the noun does end ins, add only the
apostrophe (’), for example, the kids’ swimsuits.


Possessive nouns indicate the relationship between an owner
and something that is being owned.


A possessive noun always uses an apostrophe.
