Chapter 37
Using an apostrophe and the letter s indicates possession:
• Joe’s rabbit • My brother’s carrot • The company’s credit card
Apostrophe to Show Ownership or Posession
Note: the ’s always goes with the possessor. Using the first example above, the RABBIT belongs to JOE so it’s “Joe’s rabbit.”

Using ’s with Plurals
An apostrophe plus s is used to show possession with a singular word even if the word already ends in s. So, if a rabbit belongs to Bess, you would write “Bess’s rabbit.”
