Question
Where the meaning is 'the toys belonging to the children', which is the correct way to write the phrase: The children's toys; The childrens toys; The childrens' toys; or The childrens toy's?
Answers
The children's toys (While plurals possessing something normally have the apostrophe after the S, such as 'the two boys' toys' and 'the two girls' toys', the word children is treated as a singular collective noun, and so has the apostrophe before the S. A similar rule applies to other singular collective nouns, such as men, women, and people, as in 'the people's wishes'. I am open to suggestions for improving this explanation)   Your Comment
