Possessive Nouns Worksheets | Add the Apostrophe, Grade 1-3

Ribbit — ESL/EFL Worksheet Resource

This 10-page pack teaches how an apostrophe shows that something belongs to someone, by having students add the apostrophe and rewrite each sentence. Each page opens with a rule box: "An apostrophe can show that something belongs to someone or something," with the examples "Tim's hat → The hat belongs to Tim" and "Lucy's ball → The ball belongs to Lucy." Below it are five sentences with a gap after the owner's name, like "Mum__ mug is on the kitchen shelf" or "Noah__ frog jumped very high today." Students add the apostrophe and s, then write the complete sentence on the lines. A final line asks them to write a possessive noun of their own.
