What do you call something that shows belongings often shown with an apostrophe?

The term you're looking for is possessive.

A possessive is a word or phrase that shows ownership or belonging. It's often indicated by an apostrophe, especially when referring to singular nouns or plural nouns that don't end in "s".

Here are some examples:

* The dog's bone (the bone belongs to the dog)

* My friend's car (the car belongs to my friend)

* The children's toys (the toys belong to the children)

Let me know if you have any other questions.
