Read and Colour Possessive Nouns

Distinguishing between possessive nouns and plural nouns can be a tricky concept to grasp inEnglish– but let this resource do the work for you! The worksheet is designed for individual practice.
To lighten what COULD be a boring exercise, students are required to first colour each word to show whether it is a possessive noun or not. A cloze exercise follows where students select words from the boxes to complete the sentences. An answer key is included to make life a little easier for you!
