When a noun has something that belongs to it, we usually make it possessive by adding an APOSTROPHEand 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'
