        2. \n
          Structure \u2013 Use of Possessive Apostrophe
          \n<\/strong><\/div>\n

          The apostrophe ( ‘ ) has three uses: contractions plurals and possessives. It is used with ‘s’ toshow possession. The formation of possessive is treated in different ways. <\/p>\n

          \u00a0Formation of Possessives
          \n<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n
            The possessive of the singular noun is formed by adding ‘s’ (apostrophe and ‘s)\n<\/div>\n

            Example:Ada’s medical book.
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The child’s toy.
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Father’s retirement\n<\/li>\n

          2. \n
            The possessive of a plural noun is formed by adding only an apostrophe when the noun ends in ‘s’ Example: Girls’ hostel\n<\/div>\n

            Horses’ tail
            \nThe boys’ baseball team.\n<\/li>\n

          3. \n
            The possessive of the plurals not ending with ‘s’ is formed by adding apostrophe and ‘s’\n<\/div>\n

            Example: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Men’s club
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Children’s Day.\n<\/li>\n

          4. \n
            Nouns having several words must have their possessive only to the last word.\n<\/div>\n

            Example: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The President of Nigeria’s speech.
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Prime Minister of India’s visit to Japan.
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The door of my friend’s house.\n<\/li>\n

          5. \n
            Two nouns having close association must have the possessive to the latter.\n<\/div>\n

            Example:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Wren and Martin’s grammar.
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Johnson and Johnson’s baby face powder\n<\/li>\n

          6. \n
            The possessive of nouns in apposition must be put to the second noun.\n<\/div>\n

            Example:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This is Sharon, the teacher’s favourite student
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This is Bisi, my friend’s wife.
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0He lives in Okaa, Anambra’s capital\n<\/li>\n

          7. \n
            Two different nouns having no relation, require separate possessive forms.\n<\/div>\n

            Example: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Mike’s and John’s books\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Note: <\/strong>‘s’ is omitted when there are hissing sounds
            \nExample: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0For goodness’ sake.
            \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0For conscience’ sake.
            \nIf a singular possessive noun ends with an ‘s'(such as James, Moses), you can either use an apostrophe before a second ‘s’ or after first ‘s’
            \nExample:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Saint James’ Cathedral or Saint James’s Cathedral. <\/p>\n

            \u00a0EVALUATION
            \n<\/strong>Show the possessive of these expressions using apostrophe where appropriate.
            \n<\/strong><\/p>\n

            2. Workers salary.\n<\/li>\n
