What is Singular Possessive?

The singular possessive shows that something belongs to one person, animal, or thing.

• We add an apostrophe + s (‘s) to the singular noun.

💡 Example:

• Raju’s book 📖 → The book belongs to Raju.
• Cat’s tail 🐱 → The tail belongs to the cat.
• Mom’s bag 👜 → The bag belongs to Mom.

How to Form It

• Take the singular noun.
• Add ’s at the end.

💡 Examples:

Singular Noun	Singular Possessive	Meaning

girl 👧	girl’s 🎀	The girl’s dress
teacher 👩‍🏫	teacher’s 📚	The teacher’s pen

Important Notes
