Rules of possession

A singular noun is changed to possessive form by putting an apostrophe and ('s) after the noun that stands as the possessor.

• Examples
• This is John's house
• This is Phillip's car
• Look at Kevin's cat

If the plural noun ends in "s", we should add an apostrophe only.

• Examples
• The girls' hotel
• The boys' shirt

If the plural noun does not end in "s", we should add an apostrophe and ('s).

• Examples
• The men's house
• The children's house
