Let's solve each sentence by using
possessive nouns with either
's or
' (apostrophe) to show ownership. Here's how we rewrite each sentence:
---
1.
The wolves teeth are very sharp.
→
The wolves' teeth are very sharp.
*Explanation:* "Wolves" is plural and ends in 's', so we add just an apostrophe after the 's' to show possession.
2.
She is Danny aunt.
→
She is Danny's aunt.
*Explanation:* "Danny" is singular, so we add 's to show that the aunt belongs to Danny.
3.
The princess skin is very smooth.
→
The princess's skin is very smooth.
*Explanation:* "Princess" is singular, so we add 's to show possession. (Note: Some style guides accept just an apostrophe for names ending in 's', but 'princess's' is commonly accepted.)
4.
I know Iris father very well.
→
I know Iris's father very well.
*Explanation:* "Iris" is a name ending in 's', so we add 's to show possession.
5.
That is the Lims car.
→
That is the Lim's car.
*Explanation:* "Lim" is a surname (singular), so we add 's to show it belongs to the person named Lim. If it were plural (e.g., "the Lim family"), it might be "Lims'" — but here it’s likely one person.
6.
The queen is the king wife.
→
The queen is the king's wife.
*Explanation:* "King" is singular, so we add 's to show that the wife belongs to the king.
7.
Those men bags are under the table.
→
Those men's bags are under the table.
*Explanation:* "Men" is plural, so we add 's to show the bags belong to the men.
8.
The babies mothers are here to see them.
→
The babies' mothers are here to see them.
*Explanation:* "Babies" is plural, so we add an apostrophe after the 's' to show the mothers belong to the babies.
9.
Mary room in on the left.
→
Mary's room is on the left.
*Explanation:* "Mary" is singular, so we add 's to show possession. Also, correct the grammar: "is" instead of "in".
10.
The birds feathers are very colourful.
→
The birds' feathers are very colourful.
*Explanation:* "Birds" is plural, so we use birds' to show the feathers belong to the birds.
