Let’s go through each problem one by one.
We are changing phrases like “the dish of the cat” into possessive form — that means we show who owns something by adding an apostrophe and sometimes an ‘s’.
The rule is:
- For most singular nouns (like cat, boy, man), add
’s to the end.
- So “the dish of the cat” becomes “the cat’s dish”.
Let’s apply this to all 10 problems:
1. the dish of the cat → the cat’s dish
2. the coat of the boy → the boy’s coat
3. the tool of the man → the man’s tool
4. the home of the girl → the girl’s home
5. the tire of the car → the car’s tire
6. the room of the teacher → the teacher’s room
7. the hat of the woman → the woman’s hat
8. the cage of the bird → the bird’s cage
9. the feet of the cow → the cow’s feet
10. the toy of the child → the child’s toy
All of these follow the same pattern: take the owner (cat, boy, etc.), add ’s, then put the thing they own after it.
Final Answer:
1. the cat’s dish
2. the boy’s coat
3. the man’s tool
4. the girl’s home
5. the car’s tire
6. the teacher’s room
7. the woman’s hat
8. the bird’s cage
9. the cow’s feet
10. the child’s toy
