mcgdog  +  60846 Sat, 11 Dec 04 09:44 PM Am I correct in assuming that in order to know the possessive plural of a word you must know the plural first? If I am correct then what is the plural possessive of foxes? Would it be foxes'? What about ladies, would it be ladies'? Children would be children's? Cities would be cities'. lemmeno thanks mcgdog Joined on Sat, Dec 11 2004 New Member 01 Plurals, Possessives

The three basic rules for apostrophe usage cover most situations: (1) singular - add 's (2) plural ending in s - add ' (3) plural not ending in s - add 's asdf Joined on Sun, Oct 29 2006 Junior Member 70 The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.
