grammar - "The childrens' blankets" or "The children's blankets"




I know that when we're talking about something that is possessed collectively by all children it is "children's". What about a scenario where one of the possessed nouns belongs to each individual child?


Answer



Well, childrens isn't a word, so it's still children's. Just one more ambiguity in the English language.
