Everyones or Everyone’s? Which is correct?

Vocabulary / By

Everyone’s is correct because everyone is always singular. Everyone’s is the possessive form of the word which means “everyone” owns something. Everyones is incorrect and should not be used in English. 

Everyone’s

We use everyone’s in English when we want to show that something belongs to all the people that we are talking about. This is common to use when we are talking to a group of people.

Everyone’s can also be the contraction of everyone is or everyone has. 

Everyone’s talking about me, I know it. (is)

Everyone’s already gotten their certificate. (has)

This is much more common in spoken English and titles of songs and movies.

Everyones

Everyones is incorrect because everyone is singular and therefore we do not need to make “everyone” plural in English.

Everyones’

Everyones’ is also incorrect in English because when we add the apostrophe after the s, it is because the word is already plural. As we have already said above, everyone can’t be plural so for this reason everyones’ is incorrect and should not be used in English.
