Answer 1

Answer below.

Explanation:

I'm not going to list out every single one, because that would take a really long time. But, I will tell you how to do this for any word.

To make a word singular possesive, just add an apostrophe followed by an 's' to the end of the word. EXAMPLE: Bob - Bob's.

To make a word plural, just add an 's' to the end of the word. EXAMPLE: apple - apples.

To make a word plural possesive, just add an apostrophe to the end of the word. EXAMPLE: dogs - dogs'.

There are some exceptions to this. For example: children - children' ? WRONG! It would be: children's (plural possesive).

If you need to find out more exceptions or additional information, Google would probably be the way to go!
