“Remember: Y’all is singular. All y’all is plural. All y’all’s is plural possessive.” - Kinky Friedman
Note: Possesives work the same for nouns and pronouns.
Possessives act as determiners before nouns. The meanings conveyed are:
“The creative impulses of man are always at war with the possessive impulses” - Van Wyck Brooks
Possessive - Of or relating to ownership or possession.
To make a noun possessive add an apostrophe (’) and an s to the end. The kid’s toy.
“There is a stage of worship which makes the worshiper himself - an object of reverence.” - Ayn Rand
Proper Noun - a noun that denotes a particular thing; usually capitalized.
Just as nouns are naming words, proper nouns name specific people, places, things or ideas. The key here is the word specific. Proper nouns are also titles.
“A noun by any other name would still verb as adjective” - With appologies to Mr. Shakespeare
noun - The part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action and can function as the subject or object of a verb, the object of a preposition, or an appositive.
Nouns are naming words. They identify people, places, objects, ideas and eomotions. Nouns are pretty much anything that is or can be named. Their function is to name something.
