Singular Possessive vs. Plural Possessive

Basically….!

The project belonging to one student: (singular) The student�s project The apostrophe comes before the s.

The project belonging to more than one student: (plural) The students� project The apostrophe comes after the s.

Singular Possessive vs. Plural Possessive

Finally….!

The shoes belonging to one woman: WOMAN�S SHOES

The shoes belonging to many women: WOMEN�S SHOES The apostrophe comes before the s because the noun is a collective group and has no s on the end. It would be �ladies� shoes if the base word was lady.: Lady�s shoes (the shoes belonging to one lady) Ladies� shoes (the shoes belonging to more than one lady.
