Possessive Nouns Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to turn each noun into its possessive form.

Remember the rule:
- If the word does NOT end in “s”, add ’s.
- If the word DOES end in “s”, just add ’ (an apostrophe only).

Now let’s do each one:

1. Amanda → doesn’t end in s → Amanda’s
2. purse → doesn’t end in s → purse’s
3. counters → ends in s → counters’
4. fields → ends in s → fields’
5. carpet → doesn’t end in s → carpet’s
6. women → doesn’t end in s → women’s
7. photo → doesn’t end in s → photo’s
8. notebook → doesn’t end in s → notebook’s
9. shelves → ends in s → shelves’

Now the right column:

10. trips → ends in s → trips’
11. hairbrush → doesn’t end in s → hairbrush’s
12. flower → doesn’t end in s → flower’s
13. jacket → doesn’t end in s → jacket’s
14. basket → doesn’t end in s → basket’s
15. wolves → ends in s → wolves’
16. speaker → doesn’t end in s → speaker’s
17. cord → doesn’t end in s → cord’s
18. rack → doesn’t end in s → rack’s

Double-checking:
- Words ending in “s”: counters, fields, shelves, trips, wolves → all get just an apostrophe.
- All others get ’s. Looks good!
