Tip 1 :
         Making nouns possessive by using apostrophe and an S.
Example :
         Boss's hat, Bosses' hat, It's woman's dress, It's women's dresses.
         Customer's requirements, Customers' requirements
If you make singular to plural by adding " s ", just put " ' " after it.
Neglect about other exceptions, this is enoug for today.
