What is a "possessive noun"?
A possessive noun is a noun that shows ownership or a relationship between one noun and another. This is typically indicated by adding an apostrophe and an "s" to the noun. For example, in the phrase "the dog's bone," the possessive noun "dog's" indicates that the bone belongs to the dog. If the noun is plural and ends in "s," only an apostrophe is added, as in "the dogs' park," which refers to a park belonging to multiple dogs. Possessive nouns help clarify relationships and ownership in sentences, making it clear who or what possesses something. Understanding possessive nouns is important for proper grammatical structure and conveying meaning related to ownership.
