They are identified using an <em>apostrophe (\u2019)<\/em> and an <em>\u2018s\u2019<\/em> at the end of a <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/singular-nouns\/\"><strong>singular noun<\/strong><\/a>. As a result, you can express relationships with things, people and ideas through this noun. With the proper usage, it indicates clear communication in the <strong>English language<\/strong>. To help yourself learn more about possessive nouns, you can read this blog which explains how they should be used in sentences and their examples.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\">Must Read:<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/category\/learn-english\/nouns\/\"><strong>Here\u2019s all you need to know about Nouns<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-possessive-noun\"><span id=\"what-is-a-possessive-noun\">What is a Possessive Noun?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, a possessive noun, which is considered to be a special form of noun is used in the <strong>English vocabulary<\/strong> to indicate ownership (possession of something). In this noun, the owner of something (possessor) comes right before the possessive noun (what they own).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example: <\/strong>Andrew\u2019s car<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at the example mentioned above, you\u2019ll notice how an apostrophe (\u2019) and \u2018s\u2019 are there at the end of the noun. This noun is indicated by the usage of <strong>apostrophe<\/strong> and <strong>\u2018s\u2019<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that possessive nouns don\u2019t always indicate literal ownership. <em>(Example: Peter\u2019s brother). <\/em>On the contrary, this indicates that Peter doesn\u2019t own his brother; rather he has a relationship with his brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at the following examples of possessive nouns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>My <strong>house\u2019s<\/strong> window is open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is <strong>Thor\u2019s<\/strong> room.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The first noise I hear in the morning is that of the <strong>rooster\u2019s<\/strong> crowing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Quick Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/possessive-adjective\/\">Possessive Adjective<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-possessive-nouns\"><span id=\"how-to-use-possessive-nouns\">How to Use Possessive Nouns?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As indicated above, possessive nouns, when used in a sentence can be identified with an \u2018apostrophe\u2019 and \u2018s\u2019. However, there are some basic rules which need to be kept in mind while incorporating possessive nouns in sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-singular-possessive-noun-rules\"><span id=\"singular-possessive-noun-rules\">Singular Possessive Noun Rules<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make a singular noun into a possessive noun by simply adding an <strong>apostrophe<\/strong> or <strong>\u2018s\u2019<\/strong> at the end of the noun, as the basic rule suggests.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are exceptions as well. If the word is already ending with an <strong>\u2018s\u2019<\/strong>, you can add an apostrophe to make it into a possessive noun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Examples:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I borrowed <strong>Angel\u2019s<\/strong> colour pencil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Harris\u2019<\/strong> working on his project right now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plural-possessive-noun-rules\"><span id=\"plural-possessive-noun-rules\">Plural Possessive Noun Rules<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of plural nouns, you can make it into possessive nouns by simply adding an apostrophe at the end of the noun.
