Question

what is a possessive form??​

Answer 1

Answer:

A possessive or ktetic form is a word or grammatical construction used to indicate a relationship of possession in a broad sense. This can include strict ownership, or a number of other types of relation to a greater or lesser degree analogous to it.

Answer 2

If we are talking about proper noun, such as names, that already end with an “s” then you add an apostrophe and another s to show possession.

Example: Jesse James’s gun

If you are, however, talking about a proper noun ending in s because it is plural, you only add an apostrophe at the end with no following s.

Example: The Joneses’ 50th wedding anniversary

In the first style (proper names with a natural s ending) you can drop the s after the apostrophe and just use the apostrophe alone. Whichever option you choose, however, you need to make sure you use that style consistently.

Correct Example: Jesse James’ gun was not as popular an exhibit as Peter Criss’ drum kit.

Incorrect Example: Jesse James’s gun was not as popular an exhibit as Peter Criss’ drum kit.

Finally, for common nouns, you simple follow the final s with an apostrophe alone.

Example: The Flowers’ aromas mingled in a pleasant way.
