Additional information :

• A noun or pronoun that denotes the possessor or owner of anything is said to be in the possessive case.
• Some rules of possessive case are :
• When there is a hissing sound in the last of the word so we add only apostrophe after the word to make it in possessive case.ex - ladies' parlour, strawberries' plant etc.
• when there is no hissing sound in the last of the word so we add apostrophe plus 's' ( 's ) after the word to make it in possessive case. ex- Children's party , Man 's club etc.
