- Learn how to use apostrophe s with possessive nouns in English. In this lesson, I'll teach you when to use an apostrophe with singular and plural possessive nouns to show ownership. You'll also learn when the apostrophe comes before the 's' and when it goes after the 's'.
We'll review the following rules:
• Singular nouns: add ’s
• Singular nouns or names ending in s: adding ’s is optional
• Plural nouns ending in s: add ’
• Plural nouns that don’t end in s (irregular plural nouns): add ’s
• Shared possession: add ’s to the last noun
• Separate possession: add ’s to each noun.
• With hyphenated or compound nouns: usually add ’s

What is the possesive noun is non living then will we add apostrophe?
Thanks for the links!
First of all:thanks a lot 😊
I have a doubt 😕 with an example:Mom's and dad's cars are new;is it wrong to make the word "cars" singular(car) since the word "are" makes it clear:there are more than one car.
Please correct me with the above usage of :,;," " and ( ) too,and also anything else.
Thank you 🙏😊
This is an excellent tutorial that explains the placement of apostrophe S ('s or s') with possessive nouns. I am also grateful for just the lesson and no introductory life story.
It all started on an autumn evening in October. Mother and Father waited patiently for the doctor to arrive to hand over their newborn daughter, who would one day be an English teacher... (Just kidding. Thanks for your comment! No life stories here, haha!)

Thanks for inspiration:"learning never gets old".
@@Zero-0_0- 😊 thank you, as I want to form logically coherent structures that describes complex novel concepts. This is a water splitting Hydrogen + Oxygen gas energy system. This hypothetical energy system evolved from a Nobel Prize winner phenomenon on a nanoscale second harmonic generation of evanescence waves.

When you gave the example of the girls' being sisters, I chuckled. You reminded me of when people see a lesbian couple living together, they'd dismiss them as sisters or friends. I enjoyed the video, it was very informative. Even my broken dropout ass could understand it, which is saying something. Thank you for doing what you do. Your videos are the best English instruction I've come across. Someday I hope to be able to write my novel, powered by Sparkles.
Oh, that definitely wasn't my intention! I was imagining two little girls sharing a room when I wrote that sentence. Otherwise, I would have said women. 😜 Thank you so much for the kind words!!!

It was an awesome class 😍😍
Great video - thank you!
I remember getting into a debate with someone once about the word "people." I was telling him the word refers to many persons but the word itself is singular. The plural is "peoples". So one would say, "The People's Court."
Thank you for this. I got 9/10. :)
Good job!
Thank you! I often times did not what was correct usage for possessive plural nouns.

Excellent teacher
For Question number 2
How do we know it’s shared possession?
I got 💯; however, I thought that the placement of the apostrophe depended on whether you were referring to one parent or two parents. I love the quizzes at the end of the lessons! 👍 13:23
Well if the car belongs to both of your parents , you choose to add apostrophe on which one ? Mom or dad and you need to add that parent in the ending of sentence ; last word

Thank you, it's very useful. I wanna ask you, how about the name ending in z? Do we use 's or just '?
Which one is correct? Athariz' pen or Athariz's pen?
Athariz's pen would be correct. :)
Thanks a lot :)

I missed #3 by not moving the apostrophe, and I understand why. On #10 I would like to know why parent's mean just one parent-isn't parents a plural noun? Please help me understand this. I'm so glad I watched this helpful video. Thanks, Jennifer!
You are welcome! Compare these two sentences:
My parents' house is big.
My parent's house is big.
The first sentence means that there are two parents, and the second sentence means that there is only one parent. However, usually we would say "my mother's house" or "my father's house" instead of "parent's".
Thank you! I understand it better now.@@SparkleEnglish

Hello Teacher, I have a question for you related to this topic :
In this sentence, which is the correct form to use : She will be back in two weeks time. or She will be back in two weeks' time.
I would be glad if you could clarify it please.
Hello!
She will be back in two weeks. (More common to say in the US/Canada)
She will be back in two weeks' time. (More common to say in the UK)
We would use an apostrophe after weeks. :)
@@SparkleEnglish Thanks, Teacher

It should be "Grace's files" (the files belonging to Grace) :)

Have you been to Sarah and Kyle's house yet?
@SparkleEnglish, Hi! I have a question about the 3rd rule, I'm confused with the pronunciation of those words. For example, if I hear "the girls' bedroom" it sounds like "the girl's bedroom", how can I notice the difference between "girls' " and "girl's", I thought that the pronunciation of the possessive of the words that end in an "S" like "girls' " would sound like /IZ/. There are possessive nouns like Chris's or James's and you pronounce the apostrophe 's like /IZ/. I'm very confused with this, I would really appreciate it if you could help me out with this. Thanks in advance and have a good day!
Excellent question! You have great listening skills. We would pronounce "girl's" and "girls' " the same way with the "s" sound. However, with singular proper nouns that end in "s" (like Chris or James), the possessive form is often pronounced with an additional /ɪz/ (or /əz/) sound. So, "Chris's" and "James's" would be pronounced as "Chris-iz" and "James-iz".
@@SparkleEnglish Thank you so much, teacher!! Everything's so much clearer now, I didn't know that. Thanks for your time 🤗. Have a nice day!! 😃👍🏼
