Nouns Week 2-3
Possessives
-
If the noun is plural and already ends in -s, just add an apostrophe
When we want to indicate that someone or something belongs to or is associated with someone or something else, we use a possessive form
If the noun is plural and doesn't already end in -s, add apostrophe-s
-
Never use apostrophes with possessive pronouns - Hers is red. -Hers is red. -Theirs is next to the shed.

Add -es when the word ends in -s, -sh, -ch, -z, -x, and sometimes -o
For nous ending in -y, usually change the -y to -i and then add -es
Many words ending in -f change the -f to a -v and then add -es, but not always
Compound Nouns
Open Compounds: Theses are still individual words, although they are treated as a unit, such as garage sale, First baseman, and parking lot.
Closed Compounds: These have fused into a single word, such as basketball, cheeseburger, and website.
Hyphenated Compounds: These compounds are "struck together" with hyphens, which ahow that the words function as a single unit, such self-esteem, bird-watcher, and bride-to-be.
