Practice apostrophes of possession with this educational worksheet designed for grammar learning.

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to add apostrophes to show possession in each sentence. Remember the rule:

- For singular nouns, add an apostrophe and an s: *Simon’s car*.
- For plural nouns ending in s, just add an apostrophe: *the dogs’ toys*.
- For plural nouns not ending in s, add an apostrophe and an s: *children’s toys*.

Now, let’s go through each sentence:

---

- "Simons" → Simon’s (possessive)

🔍 Key Tips:

- Always check if the noun is singular or plural.
- Use ’s for singulars (e.g., *John’s*).
- Use ’ for plurals ending in *s* (e.g., *dogs’*).
- Be careful with shared possession: *Mandy and Milly’s mother* = one mother.
