Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to change the noun in parentheses into its
possessive form — that means showing who or what owns something.
Remember:
- For most singular nouns (like “camel”, “dog”), we add
’s → camel’s, dog’s
- For plural nouns that already end in “s” (like “cats”), we just add an apostrophe → cats’
But in this worksheet, all the nouns are singular, so we’ll mostly use
’s
---
1. The ______ back has two humps. (camel)
→ Camel is singular → add ’s →
camel’s
2. That is the ______ bed. (dog)
→ Dog is singular → add ’s →
dog’s
3. This ______ tail is striped. (raccoon)
→ Raccoon is singular → add ’s →
raccoon’s
4. Is a ______ wool soft? (sheep)
→ Sheep is tricky! It’s the same for singular and plural. But here it says “a sheep”, so it’s singular → add ’s →
sheep’s
5. My ______ feathers are green. (bird)
→ Bird is singular → add ’s →
bird’s
6. The ______ neck is very long! (giraffe)
→ Giraffe is singular → add ’s →
giraffe’s
7. Where is the ______ toy? (cat)
→ Cat is singular → add ’s →
cat’s
---
Final Answer:
1. camel’s
2. dog’s
3. raccoon’s
4. sheep’s
5. bird’s
6. giraffe’s
7. cat’s
