Explanation:

A possessive noun is one that has something, or it is one that possesses something. The most common way to create a possessive noun is to add an apostrophe + s to the noun, or just an apostrophe if the noun is plural and already ends in s. Three Possessive Rules

• Rule 1: Add an apostrophe and s ('s) to construct the possessive of a singular noun. For example, car becomes car's.

• Rule 2: Only an apostrophe (') = dogs = dogs' is required to form the possessive of a plural noun ending in s.

• Rule 3: Add an apostrophe and s ('s) to make mice into mice's to form the possessive of a plural word that doesn't end in s.

The above answers are the example of possessive nouns.
