There are a few simple rules for forming the possessive case of nouns. First, nouns that end in s or z add an apostrophe only ('). For example, the possessive form of "the dog" is "the dog's." Second, nouns that end in ch, sh, ss, or x add an apostrophe and an s ('s). For example, the possessive form of "the church" is "the church's." Third, nouns that end in a vowel followed by y add an apostrophe and an s ('s). For example, the possessive form of "the boy" is "the boy's."
