This week’s Grammar lessons focus on singular and plural possessive nouns, combining sentences with nouns, and abbreviations. A possessive noun shows who or what owns something. Add an apostrophe and an ‘s’ to form the possessive of a singular noun. Add an apostrophe to form the possessive of most plural nouns. Add an apostrophe and an ‘s’ to form the possessive of plural nouns that do not end in ‘s’. Two sentences can be combined by joining two nouns with ‘and.’ For example: Bob sat down. Julia sat down. can be combined to make the sentence - Bob and Julia sat down. An abbreviation is the shortened form of a word. Abbreviations begin with a capital letter and end with a period.
