OpenStudy (desmarie):

singular possessive is referring to one person, plural possessive is referring to more than one person.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

no, princess is this princess'

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

if it has a s already in the end and is plural, it is that.

OpenStudy (desmarie):

that is right if you did it as a plural possessive it would be: princesses'

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

easier way to show singular possession: princess HAS
