Could someone tell me the possessive form of these words?
foxes, monkeys, and pony
singular = fox's, monkey's, pony's
plural = foxes', monkeys', ponies'
Sra
The foxes' den had two babies in it.
The monkeys' cages are near the refreshment stand.
We lifted the child on to the pony's back.
I guess I should of been specific with my question. What would be the possessive form of: foxes fur, monkeys tails, and pony hooves
Foxes is plural -- so the possessive form is foxes'.
Foxes' fur can be red or brown.
Monkeys is plural -- so the possessive is monkeys'.
Monkeys' tails help them swing from limb to limb of trees.
Pony is singular -- so the possessive is pony's
Our pony's hooves were covered with mud.
THE BEAKS ON PARROTS POSSSESSIVE FORM
Certainly! The possessive form of a word is used to indicate ownership or belonging. To form the possessive form of a word, you generally add an apostrophe and an "s" ('s) to the end of the word.
Here are the possessive forms of the words you mentioned:
1. For "foxes": The possessive form would be "foxes'".
2. For "monkeys": The possessive form would be "monkeys'".
3. For "pony": The possessive form would be "pony's".
To confirm these forms, you can apply the rule of adding an apostrophe and an "s" ('s) to indicate possession.
Note: If the plural form of a noun does not end in "s," you should add both the apostrophe and an "s" ('s) to show possession. However, if the plural form does end in "s," you only need to add an apostrophe (').
For example:
- For "cat": The possessive form would be "cat's".
- For "dogs": The possessive form would be "dogs'".
I hope this explains the possessive forms of these words! Let me know if you have any more questions.
