Possessive plurals
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
