Mastering Possessive Nouns: Rules and Examples

In this video, Trevor introduces possessive nouns through a pretend play activity. He explains how to form possessive nouns by adding an apostrophe and an 's' to singular nouns, and just an apostrophe to plural nouns ending in 's'. Examples include Juana's doll, Noel's skateboard, and a dog's collar. Trevor also covers proper nouns ending in 's', like Thomas and Agnes, and irregular plural nouns like children. The video distinguishes between joint and individual possession using examples with Fred, Finn, Gary, and Jacob. Viewers are encouraged to visit tutoringhour.com for more resources.
