Apostrophes

Apostrophes can be used for contraction (joining two words together) eg did not- didn’t

 or possession (when something belongs to somebody or something)- Miss Clark’s shoes are pink!

This video shows how apostrophes work for possession- https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zx9ydxs

Practise using the apostrophe for possession. Think about who owns what in each sentence.

1) Peters shoes were dirty after the walk through the forest.

2) The policemans jacket was bright yellow.

3) The telephones ring echoed in the empty hallway.

4) The sunflowers leaves were starting to wilt. (more than one sunflower)

5) Miss Clarks bag was full of useful things.

7) The dentists office was full of people with toothache.

8) West Hams captain scored the winning goal.

10) Hundreds of people packed in to the hall to hear the Mayors speech.
