Possessive nouns

Today we learned about possessive nouns. The possessive form of a noun is used to show ownership.
Ex: Joe's car is new.

The possessive of singular nouns is formed by adding an apostrophy plus an s.
Ex: Monica's house.
      Flower's pedals.

The possessive of most plural nouns is formed by adding an apostrophy.
Ex: girls' boys' animals'
Even if the singular noun ends in an s, you must still put an apostrophy and an s.
