🔍 Explanation:

- We add 's to a noun to show that it owns or is connected to the next noun.
- This applies to people, animals, and even fictional characters like kings or lions.
- For plural nouns ending in 's', we usually just add an apostrophe (e.g., "the girls’ toys"), but here all singular nouns require 's.
