Which is correct verbiage

Boys and girls finals or boy’s and girl’s finals?

  

Top answer

Assuming you are talking about the finals for boys and girls, then you need apostrophes. To find the right place to put the apostrophes, find the owner(s) and put the apostrophe after that word. If you sound an extra 's' then include that too.
