Possessive Apostrophe

Please refer to your textbook, page 64 for today's lesson.

The general rule is that the possessive of a singular noun is formed by adding an apostrophe and s, whether the singular noun ends in s or not.

Example:

A week’s vacation

Texas’s oil industry

The lawyer’s fee

The child’s toy

The girl’s parents

The possessive of a plural noun is formed by adding only an apostrophe when the noun ends in s, and by adding both an apostrophe and s when it ends in a letter other than s.

Example: 

The twins’ parents

The student teachers’ supervisor

Excessive lawyers’ fees

Children’s toys

The boys’ baseball team
