Okay thank you
You're welcome.
To correctly rewrite the possessive nouns in the sentences, we need to ensure that the apostrophe is placed in the correct position. Here are the revised versions:
1. Mom's purse is on the hall table.
Explanation: Since we are referring to one mom, the possessive form of Mom should have an apostrophe before the "s".
2. The witnesses' testimony convicted him.
Explanation: When a plural noun ends in "s", we simply add an apostrophe after the "s" to indicate possession. Therefore, the apostrophe should come after the "s" in witnesses.
3. The original solo designer's plans are the best.
Explanation: In this sentence, we are referring to one original solo designer, so the possessive form should have an apostrophe before the "s".
4. Two women's jackets were left on the bus.
Explanation: Since we are talking about multiple women, the plural form of women should have an apostrophe after the "s" to indicate possession.
