In irst example, the subject is singular. So, we add apostrophe+s (‘s)
after the subject. In second example, the subject is plural and ends
with an ‘s’, so the possessive is formed by adding an apostrophe after
the ‘s’. No additional ‘s’ is necessary.
Note that we can change the underlined expressions into:
• Its fur is black.
• Their legs are long.

forms. Look at the table:
