Rules for Possessive Nouns:

1. Singular nouns: Add 's
- Example: *the car's tire* → "car" owns the tire.
2. Plural nouns ending in 's': Add only '
- Example: *the boys' room* → multiple boys own the room.
3. Plural nouns not ending in 's': Add 's
- Example: *the children's toys* → "children" (plural) owns the toys.
