Worksheet for practicing singular and plural possessive nouns with animal-themed examples.

To solve this worksheet, we need to follow the instructions at the top. The goal is to fill in two blank lines for each numbered item.

The instructions say: "Fill in the two blank lines with the correct possessive noun and a common noun."

Let's look at the example provided to understand the pattern:
- Original sentence: "There is one tiger. Its body has stripes."
- Transformation: "The tiger's body has stripes."
- "tiger's" is the possessive noun (showing ownership).
- "body" is the common noun (the thing being owned).

Now let's apply this pattern to each question.

Question 1:
- Original: "There is one shark. Its teeth are sharp."
- We need to combine these into one sentence using possession.
- Possessive noun: shark's
- Common noun: teeth
- Result: "The shark's teeth are sharp."

Question 2:
- Original: "There are two spiders. Their webs catch insects."
- Possessive noun: spiders' (Since it is plural and ends in 's', we just add an apostrophe).
- Common noun: webs
- Result: "The spiders' webs catch insects."

Question 3:
- Original: "There are six lizards. Their tails have stripes."
- Possessive noun: lizards' (Plural, ends in 's', so just add an apostrophe).
- Common noun: tails
- Result: "The lizards' tails have stripes."

Question 4:
- Original: "There is one pig. Its tail is curly."
- Possessive noun: pig's
- Common noun: tail
- Result: "The pig's tail is curly."

Question 5:
- Original: "There are two bears. Their fur keeps them warm."
- Possessive noun: bears' (Plural, ends in 's', so just add an apostrophe).
- Common noun: fur
- Result: "The bears' fur keeps them warm."

Question 6:
- Original: "There is one giraffe. Its baby is called a calf."
- Possessive noun: giraffe's
- Common noun: baby
- Result: "The giraffe's baby is called a calf."

Final Answer:
1. shark's, teeth
