If I write this sentence like this, is this correct?

Question

" I cleaned the pet's areas."

or is it " I cleaned the pets areas."

or " I cleaned the pets' areas."

?

Answer 1

i'm pretty sure it is the third one (:

Answer 2

depends on how many pets you are talking about.

Answer 3

if you mean it to be in plural form then it is the third one:

I cleaned the pets' areas

if it is supposed to be in singular form then it should be:

I cleaned the pet's area

I don't know why u chose this silly sentence for your question!!

Answer 4

first or third option, depending on whether there's one pet or more than one.

Answer 5

If you are talking about one pet it is the first sentence.

If you are talking about more than one pet it is the third sentence.

Answer 6

If you are referring to one pet then it is singular possessive "...pet's area..." if there is more then one pet then it is plural possessive "...pets' area.."

Answer 7

WELL DO U WANT PETS TO BE CINGULAR?

Answer 8

it depends on how many pets u mean...

if u mean 1 pet... then the first sentence is correct.

if u mean more that one pet, then the third one is correct, i guess.

Answer 9

i think it should be I cleaned the pet's AREA.

Answer 10

I believe it is "I cleaned the pets' areas."  If pet is plural = pets and  and the areas belong to the pets=pets'

Answer 11

The correct sentence is "I cleaned the pet's area." It is showing that the pets own the area you are cleaning. Good luck.

Answer 12

Well, it really depends on what you are trying to say. If you have ONE pet with several areas you would say "I cleaned the pet's area." If you have more than one pet and they have more than one area, you would say "I cleaned the pets' areas."

Hope this helps!  

Answer 13

Not the second.

If there's one pet, the first.

If more than one, the third.

Answer 14

I believe it would be "I cleaned the pets' areas."

Answer 15

The second version is wrong.  But to determine if the first version or the third version is correct, we need to know how many pets you have whose areas you have cleaned.

If you have one pet and you cleaned its areas, then it is correct to say:  I cleaned the pet's areas (singular possessive).

If you have more than one pet and you cleaned their  areas, then it is correct to say:  I cleaned the pets' areas (plural possessive).
