Ownership in Words: Mastering Possessive Nouns for Grade 3
This Grade 3 grammar worksheet helps young learners understand how possessive nouns are used to show ownership or belonging. Students learn that possessive nouns tell us who owns something by adding an apostrophe and **’s**, or just an apostrophe for plural nouns. With clear examples and gradual practice, children gain confidence in forming and identifying possessive nouns correctly.
The worksheet is designed to move from simple sentence-level identification to rewriting and passage editing. This step-by-step approach supports strong grammar foundations and helps students avoid common mistakes between plural nouns and possessive forms in everyday writing.
