OpenStudy (<3meggann<3):
if its possessive wouldn't it be A?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No because then it would be brother is...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
's = is
OpenStudy (<3meggann<3):
that's not the case here though, using apostrophe -s is how you change a singular noun into possessive form..
OpenStudy (<3meggann<3):
brothers' would be the plural possessive noun, but brother's would be the singular possessive noun, "A noun names a person, place, thing, idea, quality or action. A possessive noun shows ownership by adding an apostrophe ('), an 's' or both. To make a single noun possessive, simply add an apostrophe and an 's'"
