Question
Which of the following sentences is correct?
a. The book’s cover is red.
b. The books’ cover is red.
c. The books’s covers are red.
d. The book’s covers are red.
Solution
The correct sentence is a. "The book’s cover is red." This sentence is correct because it is referring to one book (singular) and its one cover (also singular).
b. "The books’ cover is red." is incorrect because it is referring to multiple books (plural) but only one cover (singular), which is not possible as each book has its own cover.
c. "The books’s covers are red." is incorrect because the possessive form of a plural noun does not require an additional 's after the apostrophe.
d. "The book’s covers are red." is incorrect because it is referring to one book (singular) but multiple covers (plural), which is not possible as each book only has one cover.
