What is the correct form of ‘ours’ with an apostrophe?

A. ours
B. our's
C. ours'
D. ours's
Correct Answer: A. ours

Possessive pronouns indicate ownership or possession and do not use apostrophes. Words like 'ours', 'yours', 'his', 'hers', 'its', and 'theirs' inherently show possession without any additional punctuation.

  • ours is the correct form. Possessive pronouns like 'ours' already denote possession and therefore do not require an apostrophe. Adding an apostrophe to a possessive pronoun is a common grammatical error.
  • our's is incorrect. Apostrophes are used for contractions (e.g., 'it's' for 'it is') or to show possession with nouns (e.g., 'the dog's bone'), but not with possessive pronouns.
  • ours' is incorrect. This form is typically used for plural possessive nouns ending in 's', but not for possessive pronouns.
  • ours's is incorrect. This is an incorrect and redundant application of the apostrophe.
