A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until they have compared answers.
- Read about Tom's jacket and Anna's bag; identify the owner before choosing the apostrophe position.
- Complete A–C, comparing one owner, regular plurals and forms such as children's and men's.
- Write three personal ownership sentences, then ask Whose…? and report a partner's answers.
Support and extension
Use familiar people and objects. Extend by distinguishing Tom's jacket from Tom's tired, where 's means is; personal answers need not match the key.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
