Use the clues to decide whose cookie it is, and write the name on the line. 1. Lucas cookie is sitting on his desk. 2. Lucas sister cookie is in her mouth. 3. One cookie is in William pocket. 4.

The cookie belongs to. 108 walch.com 2004 Walch Publishing
9 Make It Theirs For plural nouns ending in s, just add an apostrophe to make the nouns possessive. For plural nouns that don t end in s, add an apostrophe and an s. When more than one person shares the same possession, add an s to the last name. When two or more persons possess something as individuals, each name has an apostrophe. Examples: We went to the girls game on Saturday. He took the team s picture. Tim, John, and Bill s parents came to the game. Jill s, Jim s, and John s lunches were all lost. Make the following plural nouns possessive. Write them on the lines. 1. The children museum opens on Friday. 2. Those boys desks are very dirty. 3. The women locker is down the hall on the right. 4.
