What are possessive nouns?

Possessive nouns are a type of noun that show ownership or possession. They are used to indicate that something belongs to someone or something else. In English, possessive nouns are formed by adding an apostrophe and an "s" ('s) to the end of a singular noun, or just an apostrophe (') to the end of a plural noun that already ends in "s". For example, "John's car" or "the students' books". Possessive nouns are commonly used to describe relationships, ownership, or characteristics of people, animals, objects, or places.
