Educational worksheet teaching how to form singular and plural possessive nouns with examples and practice exercises.

Let’s go step by step to solve each problem on the worksheet.

We are learning how to make nouns possessive — that means showing who owns something.

There are 3 rules from the top box:

1. For a singular noun (one person, thing, or animal), add ’s → e.g., teacher → teacher’s
2. For a regular plural noun (ends in s, like teachers, classes), just add ’ → e.g., teachers → teachers’
3. For an irregular plural noun (doesn’t end in s, like children, men, women), add ’s → e.g., children → children’s
