In Modern English nouns the genitive case is commonly shown by

adding an <em><u>´s</u></em> to the <u>singular</u>, for example:

The <u><em>neighbor´s cat</em></u> is sitting on the floor;

adding an <u><em>s´</em></u> to the <u>plural</u>, for example:

Our <u><em>friends´ cars</em></u> are parked in front of the restaurant.
