In de meeste gevallen gebruik je 's

• My friend's dog stinks.
• Our sister's hobby is horseriding.

POSSESSIVES

Als een woord mv en al op -s eindigt zet je alleen ' erachter:

• Our friends' apartment is at the top floor.
• I found the students' books on that desk over there.
• Their neighbours' dog is barking all day.
  

POSSESSIVES

• my brothers' car = de auto van mijn broers
