Showing Possession

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a visual exercise designed to teach the concept of possession using apostrophes through the use of images. Each image depicts one subject holding or associated with an object, implying ownership. Students are instructed to observe each picture and write a phrase on the line provided that indicates what each subject possesses, using the correct apostrophe placement to show possession. An example is provided to guide them in their task, which shows a girl with a book and the phrase “that girl’s book” written underneath.

The worksheet aims to solidify the student’s understanding of how to denote possession with apostrophes in a fun and interactive way. By associating the possessive form with a visual representation, it helps students make a concrete connection between the grammatical concept and its practical use. It encourages the student to practice writing possessive nouns correctly in context, reinforcing the lesson that an apostrophe and ‘s’ are used to show that something belongs to someone or something. The ultimate goal is to enable students to confidently and accurately use possessive apostrophes in their writing.
