Grade 2 Grammar Worksheet
Rewrite each phrase using an apostrophe.
the pencil that belongs to the girl
the drum that belongs to the baby
the coat that belongs to Sam
the ball that belongs to our coach
the coat that belongs to Grandma
the toy that belongs to the baby
the ball that belongs to my friend
the hat that belongs to the dog
the kite that belongs to the cat
the bag that belongs to the dog
A possessive noun shows who owns something. For one owner, add an apostrophe and an s: the toy that belongs to Matt becomes Matt's toy, and the hat that belongs to the dog becomes the dog's hat. This is a different job for the apostrophe than in a contraction, where it stands for missing letters. Here it shows ownership, and the s comes after it.
This worksheet gives ten phrases in the form the toy that belongs to Matt, and the child writes the shorter phrase with an apostrophe on the line. Ask your child to find the owner first, then write the owner with 's, then the thing. Watch for toys' or toy's: the apostrophe goes with the owner, not with the thing owned.
Common Core standard: L.2.2.C
the car that belongs to Dad becomes Dad's car. The owner is Dad, so the apostrophe and s go on Dad.
Putting the apostrophe on the thing owned (car's Dad) or leaving it out (Dads car).
Find the owner. Add an apostrophe and s to the owner, then the thing.
Putting the apostrophe on the thing owned (car's Dad) or leaving it out (Dads car).
Find the owner. Add an apostrophe and s to the owner, then the thing.
