0 Hello, Guest, 02br 02br 00In the possessive case, there are 2 possibilities with the "s" and the " ' " 02br 001. the possessor is in the singular "mother nature", then you add the ' , then the "s": "mother nature's brush" 02br 002. the possessor is in the plural ending with an "s", then you only add the ' : "my parents' car" 02br 02br 00Does this answer your question?
