Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Plural or Possessive Nouns (Year 4) | CGP Plus
Here is the step-by-step solution to fill in the table.

Step 1: Understand the Rules
* Plural Noun: This means more than one. Usually, we just add an "s" (like *cat* → *cats*). Some words are tricky and change completely (like *child* → *children*) or stay the same (like *sheep* → *sheep*).
* Possessive Noun: This shows ownership (something belongs to someone). We usually add an apostrophe and an "s" ('s). If the plural word already ends in "s", we just add an apostrophe ('). For this worksheet, since we are turning singular nouns into possessives, we will mostly use 's. You also need to think of something that belongs to that noun.

Step 2: Solve for each word

1. Truck
* Plural: Add 's' → Trucks
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Truck's wheels (or Truck's engine)

2. Footballer
* Plural: Add 's' → Footballers
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Footballer's boots (or Footballer's ball)

3. Teacher
* Plural: Add 's' → Teachers
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Teacher's desk (or Teacher's book)

4. Book
* Plural: Add 's' → Books
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Book's cover (or Book's pages)

5. Sheep
* Plural: This is irregular. It stays the same → Sheep
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Sheep's wool

6. Child
* Plural: This is irregular. It changes to → Children
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Child's toy

7. Dragon
* Plural: Add 's' → Dragons
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Dragon's fire (or Dragon's scales)

8. Fish
* Plural: Usually stays the same → Fish
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Fish's fins (or Fish's scales)

9. Man
* Plural: This is irregular. It changes to → Men
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Man's hat (or Man's car)

10. Baby
* Plural: Change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es' → Babies
* Possessive: Add 's' and a belonging item → Baby's bottle (or Baby's rattle)
