To show ownership for singular nouns, you generally add -'s to the noun. Here's how:
Step 1: Take the singular noun you want to show ownership for.
Step 2: If the noun does not end in -s, simply add -'s to the noun.
Example: "The dog's toy" denotes that the toy belongs to the dog.
However, if the noun already ends in -s, there's a slight change in the rule.
Step 1: Take the singular noun you want to show ownership for.
Step 2: If the noun ends in -s, add an apostrophe (') after the existing -s.
Example: "James' car" indicates that the car belongs to James.
So, in summary: add -'s to the noun, but if the noun already ends in -s, just add an apostrophe (').
