Remember: plural -s or possessive ’s?

Use ’s (possessive) to show that something belongs to someone. In German, this often means gehört jemandem.

Use -s (plural) to talk about more than one person or thing. In German, this means Mehrzahl.

’S → belonging
This is Sarah’s book.
Das ist Sarahs Buch.
-S → more than one
There are many books on the table.
Da sind viele Bücher auf dem Tisch.

Tip: You are choosing only the ending of a word: ’s (apostrophe + s) or s (no apostrophe). The word before the gap is already written.
