This is an excellent tutorial that explains the placement of apostrophe S ('s or s') with possessive nouns. I am also grateful for just the lesson and no introductory life story.
It all started on an autumn evening in October. Mother and Father waited patiently for the doctor to arrive to hand over their newborn daughter, who would one day be an English teacher... (Just kidding. Thanks for your comment! No life stories here, haha!)
When you gave the example of the girls' being sisters, I chuckled. You reminded me of when people see a lesbian couple living together, they'd dismiss them as sisters or friends. I enjoyed the video, it was very informative. Even my broken dropout ass could understand it, which is saying something. Thank you for doing what you do. Your videos are the best English instruction I've come across. Someday I hope to be able to write my novel, powered by Sparkles.
Oh, that definitely wasn't my intention! I was imagining two little girls sharing a room when I wrote that sentence. Otherwise, I would have said women. 😜 Thank you so much for the kind words!!!
Thank you for the refresher! I've been having trouble with these rules for a number of years. Haha! I, totally, failed on question 10: "My parents' home is near the mountains." :P
I missed #3 by not moving the apostrophe, and I understand why. On #10 I would like to know why parent's mean just one parent-isn't parents a plural noun? Please help me understand this. I'm so glad I watched this helpful video. Thanks, Jennifer!
You are welcome! Compare these two sentences: My parents' house is big. My parent's house is big. The first sentence means that there are two parents, and the second sentence means that there is only one parent. However, usually we would say "my mother's house" or "my father's house" instead of "parent's".
I remember getting into a debate with someone once about the word "people." I was telling him the word refers to many persons but the word itself is singular. The plural is "peoples". So one would say, "The People's Court."
I got 💯; however, I thought that the placement of the apostrophe depended on whether you were referring to one parent or two parents. I love the quizzes at the end of the lessons! 👍 13:23
Well if the car belongs to both of your parents , you choose to add apostrophe on which one ? Mom or dad and you need to add that parent in the ending of sentence ; last word
Hello Teacher, I have a question for you related to this topic : In this sentence, which is the correct form to use : She will be back in two weeks time. or She will be back in two weeks' time. I would be glad if you could clarify it please.
Hello! She will be back in two weeks. (More common to say in the US/Canada) She will be back in two weeks' time. (More common to say in the UK) We would use an apostrophe after weeks. :)
I have 9/10 🎉 correct number 4 I don't understand why make s in law i think only work with names , but 9/10 it's good for beginner's can i have a kiss' 😅
Good morning Dear Mss. Sparkle. I have a doubt about the following sentence I would be very grateful if you could solve it: Mom's and Dad's cars are new. I understand this sentence in a different way, there may be a gap of something in my knowledge, therefore, it happens. I get it in the following manner: Mom's cars are new and Dad's cars are new. I would understand the way in which you did it if the sentence would be: Mom's and Dad's car are new, meaning Mom's car is new and Dad's car is new. Please, if you could give me a proof-based or in-depth explanation of why the initial sentence is correct, I would thank you to bits.
I'm so curious, and I can't find any answers in my question. Which one is correct? Grace's files OR Grace' files? It means that I have my files on that folder or envelope. Or maybe both are correct? I don't know, anyone can answer my question? THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🫶🏻🥹
Thank you, it's very useful. I wanna ask you, how about the name ending in z? Do we use 's or just '? Which one is correct? Athariz' pen or Athariz's pen?
@SparkleEnglish, Hi! I have a question about the 3rd rule, I'm confused with the pronunciation of those words. For example, if I hear "the girls' bedroom" it sounds like "the girl's bedroom", how can I notice the difference between "girls' " and "girl's", I thought that the pronunciation of the possessive of the words that end in an "S" like "girls' " would sound like /IZ/. There are possessive nouns like Chris's or James's and you pronounce the apostrophe 's like /IZ/. I'm very confused with this, I would really appreciate it if you could help me out with this. Thanks in advance and have a good day!
Excellent question! You have great listening skills. We would pronounce "girl's" and "girls' " the same way with the "s" sound. However, with singular proper nouns that end in "s" (like Chris or James), the possessive form is often pronounced with an additional /ɪz/ (or /əz/) sound. So, "Chris's" and "James's" would be pronounced as "Chris-iz" and "James-iz".
At 75 yo and having taken five college writing courses, my skills presently are subjective, thus, these videos are golden.
Thank you very much, Gene!

Hello Teacher, I have a question for you related to this topic :
In this sentence, which is the correct form to use : She will be back in two weeks time. or She will be back in two weeks' time.
I would be glad if you could clarify it please.
Hello!
She will be back in two weeks. (More common to say in the US/Canada)

We would use an apostrophe after weeks. :)
