  1. student's book if it's one student with one book.

    students' book if it's multiple students with one book.


  2. student's book if it is one student's book, if it's more than one student, it will be students' book (if it belonged to multiple students)

  3. "Student's book"

    The book belongs to ONE student.

    "Students' book"

    The book belongs to ALL students.

    Since it would be awkward to write "students's book".

  4. It depends in your subject. like this one, your subject is "students". If you're referring to 1 student (singular form) then the apostrophe should be place between t and s ( student's book ). But if you're referring to many students (plural form) then the apostrophe should be place after s (students' book). Hope this helps!

  5. student's book.

    unless the student is plural, in which case it would be students' book.  But that would mean a book belonging to more than one student.

  6. it's studen't's book if it is one student's book

    it's students' book if it belongs to more than one student

  7. hmm like the first says it depends if its collectively as a group then students's book. Otherwise its student's book the book belonging to a single individual. haha.

  8. Any posessive needs an apostrophe. Correct examples.

    One student's book.

    The student's book.

    Three students' book.  

    It depends on how many students own the book.

  9. Students' book if you're saying more than one student's book.

    Student's book if it's one student.

  10. Don't believe it needs one.

  11. after the S

  12. Gotta agree with the guys above. unless someone says something daft while I'm typing (I hate it when that happens).
