All about Possessive Nouns

A possessive noun shows that something belongs to someone or something. For a single owner, add an apostrophe and s, as in the dog's bone. For plural nouns that already end in s, add only an apostrophe, as in the dogs' bones.

Possessive nouns can make sentences shorter and clearer. Instead of writing the bone of the dog, you can write the dog's bone.
