Question

what are possesive nouns?

Answers

Ms. Sue
Possessive nouns are those that show ownership. We add an apostrophe to a noun to make it possessive.

Examples:

child's toys
children's toys
dog's collar
dogs' collars

Possessive nouns are those which show ownership of the immediately following noun. (The term "ownership" needs to be understood very broadly.)

This is the boy's jacket. (boy's = possessive; boy owns jacket)

The radio's AM stations don't work. (radio's = possessive; radio "owns" stations)

My sisters' children all came over for Thanksgiving. (sisters' = plural possessive; sisters "own" children)
