Plural vs Possessive in Nouns

English · Grammar & Punctuation · conceptual

Distinguish between the plural -s suffix and the possessive -'s suffix in nouns

What mastery looks like

  • Sort words like 'dogs', 'dog's', and 'dogs'' into plural, singular possessive, and plural possessive categories
  • Explain why 'the cats bowl' is incorrect and supply the correct form ('the cat's bowl' or 'the cats' bowl') for a given meaning
  • Write two sentences using the same noun — one as a plural and one as a possessive

Check your understanding

Can Plural vs Possessive in Nouns tell the difference between "the girls' coats" (belonging to many girls) and "the girls are coming" (just a plural) — and write each one correctly without mixing up the apostrophe?
