Which sentence uses correct grammar to describe the situation? Three boys brought comic books to class. Their teacher has taken all of the books and placed them on her desk. The boy's comic books are on the teacher's desk. The boy's comic books are on the teachers' desk. The boys' comic books are on the teacher's desk. The boys' comic books are on the teachers' desk.

The third choice seems correct. Since there was more than 1 boy, it would be `boys'`. Only 1 teacher took the comic books away, it would be `teacher's`.

Elsa213:

` The boys' comic books are on the teacher's desk.`
