Possessive Nouns Worksheets

What is a possessive noun? A possessive noun is formed to show that the noun in question owns another object. Possessive nouns can be singular or plural; they are made possessive by adding an apostrophe and the letter "s". Possessive nouns act like adjectives in a sentence, as they describe the object that is owned. Ex. The ladybug's spots are black, but all the asparagus beetles' spots are white. In this sentence, "ladybug's" is a singular possessive noun that describes the spots of one ladybug, while "asparagus beetles'" is a plural possessive noun describing the spots of a group of beetles. use these free printable worksheets at home or in the classroom.
