Possessive Nouns Worksheet Assessment

Let’s go through each problem step by step.

---

Part 1: Write the correct possessive form of the noun.

We’re turning phrases like “the bow of the girl” into possessive forms — meaning we show who owns something using an apostrophe and sometimes an ‘s’.

Rule reminder:
- For singular nouns (like “girl”, “book”, “queen”), add ’s → girl’s, book’s, queen’s
- For plural nouns that end in ‘s’ (like “chickens”, “trees”), just add ’ → chickens’, trees’
- For irregular plurals (like “children”, “men”), you still add ’s → children’s, men’s — but we don’t have those here.
- For words ending in ‘y’ like “baby”, if it’s singular, add ’s → baby’s; if plural (“babies”), add ’ → babies’

Now let’s solve:

1. the bow of the girl → The girl owns the bow → the girl’s bow
2. the pages of the book → The book owns the pages → the book’s pages
3. the leaves of many trees → Trees is plural and ends in ‘s’ → the trees’ leaves
4. the cage of the chickens → Chickens is plural and ends in ‘s’ → the chickens’ cage
5. the pillow of my sister → Sister is singular → my sister’s pillow
6. the crown of the queen → Queen is singular → the queen’s crown

Part 2: Circle or highlight the correct possessive noun.

We pick the right one based on whether the owner is singular or plural.

1. My (dad's, dads) truck is new.
→ “Dad” is singular → use dad’s

2. (Amy's, Amys') toy was broken.
→ “Amy” is a person’s name, singular → Amy’s

3. I wake to the (bird's, birds') songs.
→ “Songs” implies more than one bird → plural → birds’

4. Carlos borrowed (Jacks', Jack's) pencil.
→ One person named Jack → singular → Jack’s

5. All the (flower's, flowers') scent is sweet.
→ “All the” suggests many flowers → plural → flowers’

6. She threw the (babys', baby's) ball.
→ “Baby” is singular → baby’s
*(Note: “babys” is not a word — the plural is “babies”, so “babys’” is wrong anyway.)*
