Read the instructions for each section carefully and answer all questions.
A plural possessive noun shows that more than one person or thing owns something. We usually add an apostrophe after the 's' to make a plural noun possessive (e.g., 'the students' books'). If a plural noun does not end in 's', we add 's (e.g., 'the children's toys').
