English /Grammar & Language /Possessive Nouns
Browse our collection of possessive noun worksheets and resources. A possessive noun shows ownership, or possession. A possessive noun is punctuated using an apostrophe. For singular possessive nouns, the apostrophe belongs before the s. For plural possessive nouns, the apostrophe belongs after the s (unless the plural possessive noun is irregular, in which case the apostrophe belongs before the s). Watch our Possessive Nouns Video.
