The letter s is used in two ways with nouns:
• It is simply added to some nouns to show their plural forms.

cats persons balls aeroplanes

• It is added with an apostrophe (’) to nouns to show possession or belonging.

my sister’s cat Anushka’s car that man’s daughter

To show possession with plural nouns, we add s for showing plurality and then an
apostrophe to show possession.
the kids’ toys the cats’ kittens the doctors’ patients

C. Use apostrophes wherever required.
