When making a plural word that ends in an s possessive, you add an apostrophe AFTER the s. True or False

False.

When making a plural word that already ends in "s" possessive, you add an apostrophe before the "s." This is done to indicate possession or ownership. For example:

- The dogs' toys (plural possessive)

- The cats' beds (plural possessive)

- The students' books (plural possessive)

The apostrophe comes after the "s" when forming the plural of a word that does not end in "s." For example:

- The children's toys (plural possessive)

- The women's shoes (plural possessive)

- The men's jackets (plural possessive)
