 What is it?
A possessive apostrophe is an apostrophe that shows who
or what has or owns something.

You must use an

apostrophe to show
possession.

For example:
My brother’s shirt is red
 The apostrophe is placed after the name of the owner…
for example: my sister’s cat is fat!

Click to find out where the apostrophe should be placed in the sentences below.

1. My mum‘ s cooking is amazing!

2. “Is this Jessica‘s coat?” the teacher asked the class.
3. England ‘s weather is usually cold and wet!
4. My sister‘ s bedroom is a huge mess!
5. Andrew said that his dad‘s car is faster than my dad‘s car.
6. One of the Queen‘ s homes is called Buckingham Palace.
Click to see the correct possessive noun in each sentence.

Mr. Usher’s class is learning about apostrophes.

______________
(The class belonging to Mr. Usher)
Robert’s pencil on the floor last night!
I found ___________
(pencil belonging to Robert)
_______________
Courtney’s ruler measures 12 inches long.
(Ruler belonging to Courtney)
I found ________________
Miss Smith’s dog running around in the street today.
(dog belonging to Miss Smith)
“I am going to ______________ house tonight!” yelled Mark.
Kessler’s
(house belonging to Kessler)
If a noun is plural – that means there is more than one – for example boys
then the apostrophe goes on the outside of the s.

The boys’shoes The boy’s shoes

This means the shoes belong to one boy
This means the shoes belonged to more than one boy.

The Doctor’s surgery

The Doctors’surgery This means the surgery belonged to one doctor
This means the surgery belonged to more than one Doctor.

The teacher’s lounge

The teachers’lounge This means the lounge belonged to one teacher

This means the lounge belonged to more than one teacher

Write these sentences and remember to put in the possessive apostrophes.

’
1. The hairdressers salon. (There is more than one hairdresser)

2. The shopkeepers till.’

’
3. Ipswich Town are Mr. Bensons favourite football team.

’
4. "Is that Johns bike you're riding?" asked Peter.

Possessive Adjectives
What is a possessive adjective?

• A possessive adjective is a word which describes a noun by

showing who possesses that noun.

• Whose house is that? It’s my house.

My shows who possesses the noun house. The posessor is “me.” The
object possessed is house.
The way we do it in ENGLISH

• Like subject pronouns (I, you, he/she, we, etc.), possessive

adjectives are identified according to the person they represent.
Singular Possessive Adjectives

• 1st person my
• 2nd person your

male his
• 3rd person female her
neutral its
Plural Possessive Adjectives

• 1st person our

• 2nd person your
• 3rd person their
A possessive adjective changes according to the
possessor, regardless of the object possessed.

• Is that John’s house? Yes, it is his house.

• Is that Mary’s house? Yes, it is her house.
• Although the object possessed is the same (house),
different possessive adjectives (his and her) are used
because the possessors are different (John and Mary).
It ‘s always like this
always

Mondays never

once
sometimes

PRESENT SIMPLE
• We use the Present Simple to describe habits,
facts, states and regular actions.
• It is the most common tense in English.
