Yes, both "witness's" and "witnesses'" are correct spellings, but they have different meanings and uses.
1. "Witness's" is the possessive form of the noun "witness." It is used to show ownership or possession by a single witness. For example:
- "The witness's testimony was crucial in solving the case." (singular possessive)
2. "Witnesses'" is the plural possessive form of the noun "witness." It is used to show ownership or possession by multiple witnesses. For example:
- "The witnesses' statements corroborated each other." (plural possessive)
To determine which spelling is appropriate, consider the number of witnesses involved. If you are referring to the ownership of a single witness, use "witness's." If you are referring to the ownership of multiple witnesses, use "witnesses'."
