A 2nd grade worksheet on possessive nouns. Students learn to add an apostrophe and s ('s) to show that one person or animal owns something (Ben's bike, the bird's nest), and to tell a possessive apart from a plural that just means more than one (two birds). They choose the correct word, rewrite phrases the short way, fix sentences, and write sentences about what belongs to their family and friends.
