I need some help with this question.
The statement that is true about possessive nouns is: "Possessive nouns show ownership."
To explain how to determine if a noun is possessive, here is the process:
1. Identify the noun: Start by identifying the noun in the sentence.
2. Determine ownership: Check if the noun is showing ownership or possession over something else. For example, if the noun is indicating that someone or something has or possesses something else, then it is likely a possessive noun.
3. Add an apostrophe: To make a noun possessive, add an apostrophe ('), followed by an "s" if the noun is singular, or just an apostrophe if the noun is already plural and ends with an "s."
Example: Let's consider the sentence "John's car is red." In this sentence, "car" is the noun and "John's" is a possessive noun because it shows ownership or possession. By adding an apostrophe and an "s," we indicate that the car belongs to John.
Regarding the other statements you mentioned:
- "Possessive nouns are always capitalized": This is not true. The capitalization of a possessive noun depends on grammatical rules and the specific noun itself, not on the fact that it is possessive.
- "Possessive noun names a specific person, place, or thing": This statement is partially true. A possessive noun does show ownership but does not necessarily need to name a specific person, place, or thing. It can refer to general ownership as well.
