  1. Mechanics Lesson #7 CCSS.ELA–LITERACY.L. 2 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. Apostrophes with Plural Possessive Nouns

  2. To form a plural possessive noun, place an apostrophe after the plural ending (usually “_s,” “_es,” or “_ves”). Examples: the Lees’ dog, kids’ hobbies, churches’ windows, wives’ addresses Add an apostrophe then an s to an irregular plural noun. Examples: women’s, children’s When family names ending in a /z/ sound are used as plural possessives, just add on the apostrophe at the end of the plural name and pronounce as /zes/. Don’t use an apostrophe when the family name is simply used as a plural. Example: The Feliz’ cars are at the Sanchezes.
