Answer: mom and dad's.

Explanation:  When you need to show possession with a compound noun, use an apostrophe, if both nouns own the same thing, the apostrophe is placed after the last noun. If both nouns possess different things, then an apostrophe must be added to each. In the given sentence, as the store is owned by both (mom and dad) the apostrophe should be placed after the last noun: I work at my mom and dad's store every evening.

Answer:

The correct way to write mom and dad in the statement would be mom and dad's.

Explanation:

The statement that is written will be the same because it is written appropriately in the correct grammar manner.

Whenever the sentence shows any possession, it uses an apostrophe. The apostrophe is added when the nouns possess different things. In the given statement the store is owned by both the mom and dad's and therefore the apostrophe should be placed after the last noun.

The reason for the incorrect answer is:

  • mom's and dad's are wrong because they both own the store and it will be wrong to state the particulars of possession. The possessions are owned by both so the last noun should be only placed with the apostrophe.
  • mom and dads are wrong because the possession is shown by an apostrophe, not by the single in the possession owner's name.
  • moms and dad's are wrong because the dad has already been shown as the possession owner and then moms are wrong to write as they are the owner of the possession.

And the statement will be: I work at my mom and dad's store every evening.
