Possessive Nouns
Possessive Nouns
Our speaking and writing would sound awfully clumsy without possessive nouns and pronouns! Teach your child how to correctly form singular and plural possessives and how to determine when to use each one. Be sure to distinguish between possessive nouns and contractions; these can be confusing for third graders because both word types use apostrophes.
