The written English language contains a wide range of rules and special cases that can make writing a frustrating experience. Possessive nouns, in particular, can become complicated, especially when combined with pluralization. Possessive nouns are nouns that indicate who or what owns or possesses something. To create a possessive noun from a singular object, you need to add an apostrophe and the letter "s" to the end of the word.

Type an "s" after the apostrophe, so the entire word displays as "art's." The apostrophe and "s" indicate that the noun following "art's" is owned or otherwise possessed by "art." For example, "art for art's sake."
