What are Possessives?
A possessive word shows that something belongs to someone. We add an apostrophe (') and an 's' to a singular noun to show ownership. For example, 'the boy's hat' means the hat belongs to the boy.
Complete each sentence by writing the possessive form of the noun in parentheses.
1. The ball is red. (dog)
2. My dress is pretty. (sister)
3. The car is blue. (dad)
4. This is the book. (girl)
Circle the correct possessive form in each sentence.
1. This is (Moms / Mom's) new bag.
Moms
Mom's
2. The (cats / cat's) tail is long.
cats
cat's
Rewrite each phrase using a singular possessive noun.
1. the toy of the baby
2. the house of the bird
3. the bone of the dog

1. This is Janes' hat.
True
False
2. The boy's toy is broken.

False
