Grade 3 Grammar Worksheet - Building Confidence
Rewrite each sentence using a possessive noun.
The backpack belongs to Omar.
The bike belongs to Max.
The lunch belongs to the boy.
The nest belongs to the bird.
The crayon belongs to Jada.
The ball belongs to Sam.
The book belongs to my teacher.
The hat belongs to the girl.
The homework belongs to James.
The hat belongs to the principal.
The desk belongs to Ms. Hall.
The paintbrush belongs to the artist.
A possessive noun shows who owns something. Instead of saying the bike belongs to Max, we say Max's bike. For one owner we add an apostrophe and an s, as in the girl's hat. For more than one owner that already ends in s, we add only the apostrophe, as in the boys' bikes, and for a plural that does not end in s, such as children, we add an apostrophe and an s again.
On this worksheet each sentence says that something belongs to someone, and your child writes the possessive phrase on the line. Building Confidence uses one owner, On Level adds names ending in s and titles, and Challenge Me uses plural owners. Ask your child who the owner is and whether there is one owner or more than one.
Common Core standard: L.3.2.D
The bike belongs to Max. Max's bike. The toys belong to the children. The children's toys.
Writing Maxs bike without the apostrophe, or the boy's bikes when there is more than one boy.
Find the owner first. One owner: add 's. A plural owner that ends in s: add only the apostrophe.
Writing Maxs bike without the apostrophe, or the boy's bikes when there is more than one boy.
