WAEC - English Language (2011 - No. 52)
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
The ________ toys have all been stolen.
children
childrens
childerns'
children's
Explanation
The children's toys have all been stolen.
The correct answer is children's. Children is the plural of child. The same applies to women's; people's; men's. You would never write, “The childs' toy”, as “child” is singular, so the apostrophe would come before the s, “the child's toy”.
