Let’s go through the worksheet step by step.

---

Part 1: Singular Possessive Nouns

Rule: For singular nouns, add 's.

We are given a noun in parentheses — we need to turn it into a possessive form and fill in the blank.

1. France’s → already done (example)
2. John → John’s book is in his school bag.
3. dog → The dog’s bone is under the shed.
4. baby → The baby’s toy is fun for adults too.
5. car → The car’s tire needed to be fixed.

✔ All of these are singular nouns, so we just add 's.

---

Part 2: Plural Possessive Nouns

Rules:
- If plural ends with s, add only ’ (apostrophe after s).
- If plural does NOT end with s, add 's.

Examples from worksheet:
- students → students’ (ends with s → add ’)
- doctors → doctors’ (ends with s → add ’)
- children → children’s (does NOT end with s → add 's)
- girls → girls’ (ends with s → add ’)
- mice → mice’s (does NOT end with s → add 's)

Now let’s solve each:

1. The books of the students → The students’ books. ✔ (already done)
2. The tools of the doctors → The doctors’ tools.
3. The toys of the children → The children’s toys.
4. The parents of the girls → The girls’ parents.
5. The cheese of the mice → The mice’s cheese.

Wait — double-check #5: “mice” is plural of mouse, and doesn’t end with “s”, so yes — mice’s is correct.
