Grade 2 learners compare possessive pronouns like his, her, and their to possessive nouns like Sam's, Mom's, and kids' in this focused worksheet full of clear examples. A sorting task separates pronoun owners from noun owners, five fill-in questions reinforce correct forms in short sentences, and four true or false statements test understanding. Ideal for Grade 2 students mastering when apostrophes are needed and when they are not needed.
