Welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about possessive nouns.
Let's get started.
Now the possessive form is used with nouns referring to people groups of people countries and animals.
It shows a relationship of belonging between one thing and another.
Have a look at the example over here.
Lisa's aunt is a doctor note that the word Lisa's in the sentence is in a possessive form.
And it shows the relationship she has with her aunt now to form the possessive.
Simply add an apostrophe plus as to the noun is in the examples below my brother's computer was stolen
a week ago children's toys were on the ground.
And if the noun already ends in as just add an apostrophe for example students homework will be assessed
leader
and four names ending in s..
You can either add an apostrophe plus as or just an apostrophe.
Note that the first option is more common for example they want to sell James's car now study some of
the fixed expressions where they possessive form is used.
For example a day's work a month's pay in a year's time.
For God's sake
also note the deepest passive is also used to refer to shops restaurants churches universities etc.
using the name or job title of the owner.
Have a look at the examples below.
