A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Give learners page 1 and keep the teacher key on page 2 separate. Personal answers in the key are examples, not required responses.

  1. Complete the questions about family, friends, a partner and a teacher.
  2. Answer with names or possessions, placing the apostrophe before s for one owner.
  3. Reorder the bag, Ben's book and teacher's name questions, then compare answers.

Support and extension

Whose bag is this? and Whose is this bag? are both valid. Allow invented family details; distinguish whose from who's.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
