They change form: The child (singular) => The children (plural) The woman (singular) => The women (plural) (3) To form the possessive, add -'s: My friend (singular) => My friend's (singular, possessive) My friends (plural) => My friends' (plural, possessive) The child (singular) => The child's (singular, possessive) The children (plural) => The children's (plural, possessive) (4) If the word already ends in -s, then don't add another -'s, just add '. The roses (plural) => The roses' (plural, possessive) James (singular, name) => James' (singular, possessive) Click here for more examples. |
