What a Wonderful World
I see trees of green,
Red roses, too.
I see them bloom
For me and you.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world!
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day;
The dark sacred night,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world!
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands,
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you."
I hear babies cry.
I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world!
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world!
Oh yeah.

POSSESSIVE or PLURAL?
When a noun has something that belongs to it, we usually make it possessive by adding an APOSTROPHE and an S. ('s)
the dog's bone
the teacher's book
the student's pencil case
my grandmother's recipe / Grandma's recipe
the neighbor's yards
For plural nouns, add the apostrophe after the s:
the dogs' bones
the teachers' books
the students' pencil cases
our grandmothers' recipes
the neighbors' yard
When a plural noun ends in /es/ :
class (singular) - class's
classes (plural) - classes'
Singular and Irregular plurals:
the lady's shoes -- the ladies' shoes
a child's toys __ the children's toys
a woman's clothing __ women's clothing
When a singular noun ends in /s/ we usually add an 's:
Mr. Jones's car
this class's students
the bus's driver
BUT we can also write it like plural nouns:
Mr. Jones's car / Mr. Jones' car
The plural of Jones is Joneses. , so the possessive is Joneses'
class's students / class' students
the plural of class is classes, so the possessive is classes'
