POSSESSIVE NOUNS

                                                          

Rules

1.     In singular nouns you add an apostrophe and the S.

Ex. The name of my friend is Jimmy. = My friend's name is Jimmy.

       The hair of Chris is brown.          = Chris's hair is brown.

2.     For the plural nouns you only put the aphostrophe.

EX. The brother of the girls is short.  = the girls' brother is short.

3.     For the plural nouns not ending in S you just add S.

The toys of the children are new.      =The children's toys are new.

They are only used with people and animals. Not with things
