To solve this worksheet, we need to use possessive apostrophes correctly. Here is the rule:
1.
Singular nouns (one person/thing): Add
's (e.g., Benji → Benji's).
2.
Plural nouns ending in s (more than one): Add just an apostrophe
' after the s (e.g., teachers → teachers').
3.
Irregular plural nouns (plural but doesn't end in s): Add
's (e.g., children → children's).
Let's go through each row step by step:
Row 2:
* Item: school
* Owner: the children
* "Children" is a plural noun, but it does not end in "s". So, we add
's.
* Result:
the children's school
Row 3:
* Item: diary
* Owner: Freya
* "Freya" is a singular name. So, we add
's.
* Result:
Freya's diary
Row 4:
* Item: cape
* Owner: Mr Jay
* "Mr Jay" is a singular name. So, we add
's.
* Result:
Mr Jay's cape
Row 5:
* Item: clipboard
* Owner: the visitors
* "Visitors" is a plural noun ending in "s". So, we add just an apostrophe
' at the end.
* Result:
the visitors' clipboard
Row 6:
* Item: marking
* Owner: the teachers
* "Teachers" is a plural noun ending in "s". So, we add just an apostrophe
' at the end.
* Result:
the teachers' marking
Final Answer:
the children's school
Freya's diary
Mr Jay's cape
the visitors' clipboard
the teachers' marking
