Exploring Plural Possessive Nouns

The video tutorial for sixth graders covers plural possessive nouns. It begins with a review of singular possessive nouns, emphasizing the addition of an apostrophe and 's'. The tutorial then explains plural possessive nouns, which indicate ownership by more than one entity. Two main rules are highlighted: if the noun ends in 's', add only an apostrophe; if not, add an apostrophe and 's'. Examples are provided to illustrate these rules. The video also warns against common mistakes, such as adding unnecessary apostrophes. Students are encouraged to practice by writing examples and respecting apostrophe usage.

What is the rule for forming singular possessive nouns?

• Add an apostrophe before the 's'
