Plural Possessive Nouns

A plural possessive noun shows ownership by more than one person or thing. For example, 'students' in 'students' books' shows that the books belong to multiple students.

To form the plural possessive of a noun that ends in 's', add an apostrophe after the 's'. For example, 'the teachers' lounge'.

The plural possessive form of 'dog' is 'dogs''. For example, 'the dogs' owner'.

Look for a noun that indicates more than one and has an apostrophe showing ownership. For example, in 'the girls' dresses', 'girls' is plural possessive.

The plural possessive form of 'fox' is 'foxes''. For example, 'the foxes' den'.

The apostrophe indicates ownership. It shows that something belongs to the plural noun.

The plural possessive form of 'baby' is 'babies''. For example, 'the babies' bottles'.

To form the plural of a noun that does not end in 's', change the word to its plural form and then add an apostrophe. For example, 'men' becomes 'men's'.

The plural possessive form of 'city' is 'cities''. For example, 'the cities' parks'.
