Interactive worksheet for learning apostrophes with fun illustrations.

Absolutely! Let’s solve both parts of the worksheet: Part A (Rewriting sentences with apostrophes) and Part B (Completing the table with singular/plural possessive forms).

---

## ✔ PART A: Write the following sentences in apostrophe form

We need to show possession — who owns or is associated with the noun. The apostrophe goes after the possessor and before the “s” if it’s singular, or after the “s” if it’s plural.

Let’s go one by one:

1. The father of James is a doctor.
→ James’s father is a doctor.
*(Possession: James owns the father — so “James’s”)*

2. The hats of those ladies are very costly.
→ Those ladies’ hats are very costly.
*(Plural "ladies" — add apostrophe after the s: ladies’)*

3. The coat of the boy is very dirty.
→ The boy’s coat is very dirty.
*(Singular “boy” — add ’s)*

4. The name of my son is Vinay.
→ My son’s name is Vinay.
*(Possession: son owns the name)*

5. The parents of those girls were very angry.
→ Those girls’ parents were very angry.
*(Plural “girls” → girls’)*

6. The typist of Mr. Singh is an honest man.
→ Mr. Singh’s typist is an honest man.
*(Singular person — Singh’s)*

7. The washerman is washing the clothes of the boys.
→ The washerman is washing the boys’ clothes.
*(Plural “boys” → boys’)*

8. You can’t repay the love of a mother.
→ You can’t repay a mother’s love.
*(Singular “mother” → mother’s)*

9. She is a member of the club of women.
→ She is a member of the women’s club.
*(“Women’s club” — plural possessive)*

10. The teacher is pointing at a picture of an owl.
→ The teacher is pointing at an owl’s picture.
*(Owl owns the picture — singular → owl’s)*
*(Alternatively, you could say “the picture of the owl” — but since we must use apostrophe, “owl’s picture” is correct.)*

11. The toys of my children were in the box.
→ My children’s toys were in the box.
*(Plural “children” — children’s)*

12. The hair of this thief is curly.
→ This thief’s hair is curly.
*(Singular “thief” → thief’s)*

13. The ribbons of those girls are cute.
→ Those girls’ ribbons are cute.
*(Plural “girls” → girls’)*

14. The neck of a giraffe is very long.
→ A giraffe’s neck is very long.
*(Singular “giraffe” → giraffe’s)*

15. Some people wear feathers of birds on their heads.
→ Some people wear birds’ feathers on their heads.
*(Plural “birds” → birds’)*

16. The dog of Sonu is in the kennel.
→ Sonu’s dog is in the kennel.
*(Singular person → Sonu’s)*

17. The feet of those geese are soiled.
→ Those geese’s feet are soiled.
*(“Geese” is plural of “goose”; plural possessive → geese’s)*
*Note: Some may argue “geese” doesn’t take an extra ‘s’, but grammatically, for irregular plurals like “geese”, we still add ’s: geese’s.*

18. This is the letter of my friend.
→ This is my friend’s letter.
*(Singular → friend’s)*

19. The dentist is cleaning teeth of those men.
→ The dentist is cleaning those men’s teeth.
*(Plural “men” → men’s)*

20. The beard of my uncle is long.
→ My uncle’s beard is long.
*(Singular → uncle’s)*

21. That is the house of his uncle.
→ That is his uncle’s house.
*(Singular → uncle’s)*

22. The toys of the children are very expensive.
→ The children’s toys are very expensive.
*(Plural “children” → children’s)*

23. The picture of an elephant is very big.
→ An elephant’s picture is very big.
*(Singular → elephant’s)*

## ✔ PART B: Complete the following table

We need to fill in:
- Singular (base word)
- Singular Possessive (add ’s)
- Plural (make the word plural)
- Plural Possessive (add ’ after the s)

Let’s complete the table:

| # | Singular | Singular Possessive | Plural | Plural Possessive |
|----|-----------|----------------------|----------|-------------------|
| 1 | wolf | Wolf’s | Wolves | Wolves’ |
| 2 | Fox | Fox’s | Foxes | Foxes’ |
| 3 | Thief | Thief’s | Thieves | Thieves’ |
| 4 | Prince | Prince’s | Princes | Princes’ |
| 5 | Woman | Woman’s | Women | Women’s |
| 6 | Boy | Boy’s | Boys | Boys’ |
| 7 | Mother | Mother’s | Mothers | Mothers’ |
| 8 | Snake | Snake’s | Snakes | Snakes’ |
| 9 | Servant | Servant’s | Servants | Servants’ |
| 10 | Actress | Actress’s | Actresses| Actresses’ |

> 💡 Note: For most nouns, plural is formed by adding -s or -es. Possessive singular = noun + ’s. Possessive plural = plural noun + ’ (if it already ends in s) OR plural noun + ’s (for irregular plurals like “women”, “children”, etc.). But for regular plurals ending in “s”, we just add apostrophe after the s: e.g., “dogs’”, “foxes’”.
