This is a very confusing topic for even for native speakers. here, I am not going to bore you with everything. 


I will provide a few shortcuts to be an expert on possesions. It is really important not to learn these things by heart. My best method for you is to read an article on 


CNN or other news channels and hit control+F and type 's and s'. Then you can understand while looking at this post and the news post.
