Point out the nouns in the possessive case in the following sentences,
and state how the possessive is formed:—
1. This is a girl’s hat.
2. The girls’ yard is very clean.
3. He found a woman’s shawl.
4. The women’s waiting room is a large one.
The possessive case of a singular noun is always formed by adding ’s to
the word.
The possessive case of a plural noun that ends in s is formed by adding
the ’ (apostrophe) only; as _boys_, _boys’_.
The possessive case of a plural noun that does not end in s is formed by
adding the ’s; as _men_, _men’s_.
