What is the PLURAL possive noun of ' country ' ?

Question

Example >>>>> The main export of these ' country ' economy is coffee

could the possesive form countrys' be considered correct in ANY context ?

Answer 1

Favourite answer

countries'

Answer 2

countrys' would never be correct

the plural possessive is countries' but the sentence would be better if it was reworded to use the plural rather than the plural possessive.

e.g.,

Coffee is the main export of these countries.

if you need to have "economy" in there it should be plural as well (economies)

Answer 3

''countries'' is the plural possessive

The main export of these ' countries ' economy is coffee

Answer 4

The plural of country is "countries", not "countrys".

"This country's economy" - singular.

"These countries' economies" - plural.

Answer 5

countries is plural but not possessive

country's is possessive but not plural.

I guess you would just put the word many or something like that in front of country's to make it plural possessive

Answer 6

"countries" simple
