Possessive Nouns

  • We add 's to singular nouns to show possession: e.g: We are having a party at John's house.

    Michael drove his friend's car.

  • We add ' to plural nouns ending in -s: e.g: This is my parents' house. Those are ladies' shoes.

Possessive Nouns

But we use 's with irregular plural nouns:


*men

*women

*children

*people

4

Examples

These are men's shoes.

Children's clothes are very expensive.

5

We can use a possessive instead of a full noun phrase to avoid repeating words:

Is that John's car?

   No, it's Mary's. (NOT No, it's Mary's [car].)

Whose coat is this?

   It's my wife's. (NOT It's my wife's [coat].)
