This Grade 3 hard-1 worksheet introduces plural possessive nouns. Students decide whether to place the apostrophe after a final s for regular plurals, like the dogs' bones, or add apostrophe s for irregular plurals that do not end in s, like the children's toys. Multiple choice and fill-in items push Grade 3 writers to think carefully about apostrophe placement in real context.
