Task Explanation:
The task requires rewriting the given sentences and changing the underlined words into their
possessive form. Possessive nouns are used to show ownership or possession. The general rule for forming possessive nouns is:
1. For singular nouns, add an apostrophe followed by an "s" (e.g., *dog* → *dog's*).
2. For plural nouns that do not end in "s," add an apostrophe followed by an "s" (e.g., *children* → *children's*).
3. For plural nouns that already end in "s," add only an apostrophe (e.g., *dogs* → *dogs'*).
