Two activities involving identifying correctly and incorrectly punctuated possessive nouns. Pupils must look carefully at the sentences to check if the apostrophes have been put in the correct place for a variety of possessive nouns.
There are two activities provided:
✽ Apostrophes in Possessive Nouns Cards/Quiz: pupils sort the cards into correct and incorrect piles. Great for paired or small group work. Large and small cards are provided, plus a presentation to use to go through the answers or to use as a whole class quiz.
✽ Apostrophes in Possessive Nouns Worksheet: pupils identify whether the apostrophes are correctly punctuating the possessive nouns, and then make any necessary corrections; identify possession as singular, regular plural and irregular plural; add missing apostrophes to sentences and write a paragraph including their own possessive nouns. Great as an independent task. This worksheet uses different examples to the cards/quiz.
Different formats of possessive nouns are given as examples, including:
• Singular possession with one item being possessed
• Singular possession with more than one item being possessed
• Regular plural possession with one item being possessed
• Regular plural possession with more than one item being possessed
• Irregular plural possession with one item being possessed

Answers to all tasks are included.
