Use

Plural possessive nouns show what plural nouns own or have.

Example:

All the students' test scores are good.

Explanation:

The test scores belong to more than one student, so we use the plural possessive noun students’.

How to build

For plural nouns ending in -s, just add ‘.

• Kids’ favorite food.

• The books’ covers.

For plural nouns that do not end in -s, add ‘s.

• Women’s cosmetics.

• Children’s books.

Another way to show possession is by using the preposition ‘of’. This form can be more formal.

• The thoughts of the group is important to her.

More Examples

• Do you agree with the men’s opinions?
