Great question! The plural form of "possess" is actually pretty straightforward. As a verb, "possess" means to have or own something, so the plural form simply refers to having or owning multiple items.
The plural form of "possess" is "possess," just like the singular form! This is because "possess" is what's known as a non-countable or uncountable noun. That means we can't really talk about "possesses" in the same way we talk about, say, "dogs" or "pencils." We can't have one "possess" versus multiple "possesses." Instead, we use other words to describe the quantity of what's being possessed. For example, we might say, "He possesses many valuable items" or "They each possess unique talents."
It's worth noting that "possesses" can be used as a verb in the third person singular (i.e. when referring to a single person or thing), such as "He possesses a great deal of knowledge." But when talking about possession in general or referring to multiple people or things, stick with just "possess."
I hope that clears things up for you! Let me know if you have any other questions.
