What are plural possessive nouns?

Plural possessive nouns are nouns that represent more than one person, animal, place, thing, or idea and show ownership or possession over something. They are formed by adding an apostrophe after the plural form of the noun (ending in -s) or after the singular form if it already ends with -s, followed by another -s. For example, "the dogs' toys" or "the teachers' lounge.

How is the possessive form of a plural noun created?
