# --description--

To show possession, you typically add `'s` to a name, like `Sophie's desk`.

However, for names ending in `s`, you often just add an apostrophe `'`. For example, `James' book`. It means the book belongs to James.

## --text--

Choose the correct possessive form for the nouns `server` and `devices`.

## --answers--

`Server maintenances, devices manual`

`Server maintenances` and `devices manual` don't show possession. Remember that `'s` or an apostrophe is needed to indicate that something belongs to someone or something.

`Server's maintenance, devices' manual`

`Server's maintenance, device's manual`

### --feedback--

`Server's` is correct for singular possession, but be careful with `device's`. Consider if `device` is singular or plural in the context.
