Learning Objective

Students will correctly form possessive nouns for plural nouns ending in s by adding only an apostrophe after the s.

Teacher Tip

Before Q3, pause and point to the passage sentence about the elephants' tracks. Ask students: how many elephants are there? More than one — so we only add an apostrophe after the s. This ties the rule directly to the story text students already read.

Sample Questions

...plus 5 more questions in the full worksheet

Instructions: Read each question and look for the plural noun that shows ownership. Add an apostrophe after the s — like this: the birds' nests.

Standard: L.4.1
