Description
The challenge of this activity is to identify the proper usage and punctuation (apostrophes) of singular versus plural possessives and plural nouns, given the sentences provided. Within each of the three sets of cards, there are ten sentences and twelve word choices. Working individually or with a partner, the students read each sentence and identify the correct word that makes sense in the sentence. There will be two leftover choices, so it is not instantly obvious which “leftover” word much go with the last sentence.
This material is intended as a follow-up activity after students have been introduced to singular and plural possessives.
