This document discusses possessive nouns and adjectives. It explains how to form possessive nouns by adding 's to singular nouns and adding an apostrophe after plural nouns. Possessive adjectives such as his, her, their can replace possessive nouns. Examples are provided to demonstrate replacing possessive nouns with the correct possessive adjective. The document also notes that a noun plus 's does not always indicate possession and can sometimes be the subject of a sentence plus verb. It concludes by explaining the difference between whose, which is used to ask about possession, versus who's, which is a contraction of who is.
