🔍 Explanation:
- To make a noun possessive, we usually add
's to the end of the noun (e.g., *boy → boy's*).
- This indicates that something
belongs to the person or thing mentioned.
- In all these cases, the noun being possessed (like tire, room, cap) is followed by the possessor (car, mother, boy), so we make the
possessor possessive.
This helps simplify expressions like “the tire of the car” into “the car's tire,” which is more concise and natural in English.
