Worksheets for teaching possessive nouns, focusing on singular and plural forms with fill-in-the-blank exercises.

Let's solve both worksheets step by step and explain the rules for forming possessive nouns.

🔹 Worksheet 1: Put an apostrophe + 's' after the noun

> Rule: For singular nouns, add 's to show possession.
> Example: *Tom’s shoes* → "The shoes belong to Tom."

#### ✔ Answers:

1. The shoes belong to Tom. They are Tom’s shoes.
2. The cat belongs to Sam. It is Sam’s shoes.
3. Red ball belongs to Portia. It is Portia’s red. *(Note: “red” here likely means “the red ball”, so it's Portia’s red ball)*
4. The key belongs to Sir Harry. It is Sir Harry’s key.
5. The book belongs to my teacher. It is my teacher’s book.
6. The house belongs to grandfather. It is grandfather’s house.
7. The pen belongs to the student. It is the student’s pen.
8. The laptop belongs to the company. It is the company’s laptop.
9. The dress belongs to my sister. It is my sister’s dress.
10. The desk belongs to grade seven. It is grade seven’s desk.

✔ Explanation: All these are singular nouns (or phrases acting as singular possessors), so we use ’s.

🔹 Worksheet 2: Write the plural possessive form of each underlined noun

> Rule: For plural nouns that end in -s, add apostrophe only (’), not ’s.
> Example: *the boys’ shirts* → “the shirts of the boys”

If the plural noun does not end in -s, then add ’s like normal.

But in this worksheet, all the underlined nouns are plural and end in -s, so we just add ’ after the -s.

#### ✔ Answers:

1. the toys of the babies → the babies’ toys
2. the tools of the plumbers → the plumbers’ tools
3. the shirts of the boys → the boys’ shirts
4. the rooms of the sisters → the sisters’ rooms
5. the caps of the ladies → the ladies’ caps
6. the cages of the birds → the birds’ cages
7. the legs of the camels → the camels’ legs
8. the huts of the farmers → the farmers’ huts
9. the tails of the cows → the cows’ tails
10. the wheels of the cars → the cars’ wheels

✔ Explanation:
All the nouns (babies, plumbers, boys, sisters, ladies, birds, camels, farmers, cows, cars) are plural and end in -s, so we use ’ instead of ’s.
