Nouns QnMn-iz

Possessive nouns

Possessive nouns are used to indicate ownership.

In everyday English possessive nouns are usually formed by adding an apostrophe (') and s. Example John's bike.

There is always such a mess in English regarding apostrophes; because many simply do not understand how possessives are formed and confuse this also with simple apostrophes used in contractions.

In everyday English, apostrophes have three main uses:

1. To indicate possession - Sue's sister is Leena.

2. To indicate an omission of letters or numbers

3. To separate the s from plural letters/numbers and abbreviations followed by periods.

Singular nouns are followed by an 's . . .

Chris's poem - boy's room - director's desk

Plural nouns which end in "s" are followed by an apostrophe . . .

girls' shoes - Jones' house - dancers' dressing room

Plural nouns which do not end in "s" are followed by an 's . . .

children's school - mice's maze - women's group

In Lingojam, apostrophes are used thus: x ov y ( x of y )

Chris's poem - pGem ov QCris

boy's room - room ov bJ

girls' shoes - Soo-iz ov gUl

dancers' dressing room - dresiI room ov daansE-iz

mice's maze - mAz ov mFs-iz (or can be 'mFsiz')

men's group - groop ov mEn-iz (or can be 'meniz')
