LESSON XVIII.
Point out the nouns in the possessive case in the following sentences, and state how the possessive is formed:—
| 1. | This is a girl’s hat. | |
| 2. | The girls’ yard is very clean. | |
| 3. | He found a woman’s shawl. | |
| 4. | The women’s waiting room is a large one. |
The possessive case of a singular noun is always formed by adding ’s to the word.
The possessive case of a plural noun that ends in s is formed by adding the ’ (apostrophe) only; as boys, boys’.
