🔹 Exercise: Write the possessive form for each underlined noun

1. the dog tail
→ dog’s
✔ Correct. Singular noun → add 's.

2. the children pony
→ children’s
✔ Correct. "Children" is irregular plural → add 's.

3. Thomas cat
→ Thomas’s
✔ Correct. Proper noun (name) → add 's.

4. the pigs tails
→ pigs’
✘ Incorrect.
Correction: "Pigs" is plural and ends in -s → add only an apostrophe.
But the word is "pigs", so it should be pigs’ (plural possessive).
However, if it's meant to be "pig" (singular), then it would be pig’s.
But since it says "pigs tails", implying multiple pigs, pigs’ is correct.
So pigs’ is actually correct. ✔

5. that spider web
→ spider’s
✔ Correct. Singular → add 's.

6. the bees honey
→ bees’
✔ Correct. "Bees" is plural ending in -s → add only apostrophe.

7. four hens feathers
→ hens’
✔ Correct. "Hens" is plural → add '.

8. the sheep wool
→ sheep’s
✔ Correct. "Sheep" is both singular and plural, but here it refers to one or more sheep — still uses sheep’s because it's irregular.
Note: While "sheep" doesn't change form, the possessive is sheep’s.

9. the chicks food
→ chicks’
✔ Correct. "Chicks" is plural → add '.

10. our cow milk
→ cow’s
✔ Correct. Singular noun → add 's.
