Read the instructions for each section carefully and complete the activities. Remember that plural possessives show that more than one person or thing owns something. We usually add an apostrophe after the 's' for plural words that end in 's' (e.g., 'dogs' becomes 'dogs''). For plural words that do not end in 's', we add an apostrophe and then an 's' (e.g., 'children' becomes 'children's').
Circle the correct plural possessive word to complete each sentence.
1. The (birds'/bird's) nests were high in the tree.
2. The (students'/student's) books were piled on the desk.
3. We saw the (dogs'/dog's) toys scattered in the yard.
4. The (teachers'/teacher's) lounge was quiet.
Rewrite each phrase using the correct plural possessive.
1. the toys of the boys
2. the hats of the girls
3. the clothes of the babies
4. the shoes of the children
Read each sentence. If the plural possessive is used correctly, circle T for True. If it is used incorrectly, circle F for False.
1. The cat's whiskers twitched.
True
False
2. The students' teacher read a story.
True
False
3. The boys' bikes were new.
True
False
