complete with possessive adjetives and personal pronouns

possessives 's : to show possession

to avoid repetition

Plural nouns

Singular nouns

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

We add 's to singular nouns to show possession:

We add ' to plural nouns ending in -s:

• We are having a party at John's house.
• Michael drove his friend's car.

• This is my parents' house.
• Those are ladies' shoes.

Is that your parents' 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].)

But we use 's with irregular plural nouns:

• These are men's shoes.
• Children's clothes are very expensive

Examples of possessive nouns in a sentence:

1) What's your mother's name? 2) My sister's phone is lost. 3) Are we going to the Smith's house? 4) The girls' bookbags are left on the gym floor 5)Tom's cat died. 6) The bus driver's hat is red 7) I am not sure that the children's restroom is on this place. 8) My mom's name is Leslie. 9) The football team's jerseys are red. 10) The flowers' petals are on the floor.
