Plural and possessive nouns

规则

Plural nouns usually add -s (scientists). Singular possessives add ’s (the scientist’s notes). Plural possessives add an apostrophe after the s (the scientists’ notes).

复数通常加-s(scientists);单数所有格加’s(the scientist’s notes);复数所有格在s后加撇号(the scientists’ notes)。

✔ 正确: The two researchers’ findings were published last year.

✘ 错误: The two researcher’s findings were published last year.

→ 改正: Two researchers own the findings, so the apostrophe goes after the s: "researchers’".

技巧: Ask: one owner or more? Is anything owned at all? No owner = no apostrophe.
