Explanation:

• In the English language, possessive nouns are types of nouns that show ownership or connection.
• A noun is a word that refers to a person, place, or thing. Singular nouns refer to one such thing, while plural nouns refer to more than one.
• Possessive nouns are commonly created with the addition of an apostrophe and 's' at the end of a noun.
• If the noun is plural and already ends in s, only an apostrophe needs to be added.
• If a phrase can be changed to say that a noun belongs to someone or something, then a possessive noun may be used.
