New Daily Challenge
Apostrophes for Single Possession
An apostrophe and ‘s’ shows that something belongs.
Hugo‘s racket – This means the racket belongs to Hugo.
Examples
The room’s furniture.
The castle’s moat.
If a name ends in ‘s’ already, you still need to add an apostrophe and an ‘s’ – James‘s hat
This rule is the same for any noun ending in ‘s’ – The walrus‘s tusks
Task
Lets practise this skill first. Rewrite the phrases with an apostrophe and an ‘s’ to show that something belongs.
Example
The keyboard has keys – The keyboard’s keys
Questions
- The suitcase has handles.
- The man has a house.
- The bicycle has wheels.
