Possessive Nouns and Possessive Pronouns

Possessive Nouns and Possessive Pronouns

* Possessive nouns are nouns that show ownership (someone owns it or it belongs to someone) 

*  Possessive nouns can be singular or possessive. These are formed by adding an apostrophe and ‘s’ to a singular noun or only an apostrophe to a plural noun.

 

Examples:

A. For singular nouns add apostrophe and ‘s’

     For eg.  
1. Tina’s dress is red in colour.

2. Raj’s bicycle is new.   

B. When the noun ends in ‘s’ , we do not add the possessive ‘s’ but just put the apostrophe after the noun.

 For eg.    
1. The babies’ beds are all in a row.
2. The witches’ broom has magical powers.

 

* Nouns can be replaced by possessive pronouns such as – mine, yours, his hers, its, ours, yours, theirs. No apostrophe is used here.

For eg.    
1. Tom’s book – his book

2. The cheetah's speed - its speed
