10. class → classes
→ Ends in “ss” → add “-es”
11. story → stories

Section 4: Change the underlined noun to the possessive form.
> Possessive form shows ownership. Usually add
’s (for singular) or
’ (for plural ending in s).
15. Sally pencil → Sally’s pencil
→ “Sally” is singular → add ’s
16. The two cousins football → The two cousins’ football
→ “Cousins” is plural and ends in “s” → add just ’
17. A boy shirt → A boy’s shirt
→ “Boy” is singular → add ’s
18. Some reporters desks → Some reporters’ desks
→ “Reporters” is plural and ends in “s” → add just ’
