Learn English – what is correct way to write this sentence? Ragen’s and Connor’s graduation (both boys are graduating from different schools

grammarpossessives

Both my boys will be graduating from two different schools and in an invitation I'm inviting everyone to "Ragen's and Connor's graduation". So I show possessive for with both boys and would the word "graduation" be singular or plural??

Best Answer

I would write an invitation to...

... celebrate Ragen's and Connor's graduations

but I think

... celebrate Ragen's and Connor's graduation

is fine too. - The plural makes it clear that both of them have independently graduated.

Also you could, of course, have

.... to celebrate the graduations of Ragen and Connor

or

.... to celebrate the graduation of Ragen and Connor

with this second way around I think I would go for the singular. '.... to celebrate the graduation of Ragen and Connor'
