Sentence of the Weeeeeek

Today we looked at how to show posession of something by adding an 's at the end of a person's name.

What was the tricky instance for adding 's to the end of someone's name? How do we solve this problem?

Use the 's we learned about today to write a sentence about each of the following:

my shoes
a cat
your friend
a computer
worms
snow
a beach

You should have 7 sentences in total. Write one final sentence of your choice using your name in it.

Be sure to check back in the comment section for feedback on your work. Feel free to add feedback help for your peers as well. I'll give tokens for that!

    1. Remember we are working on a skill that has the noun in the sentence posessing something. Look for the thing that is being 'posessed' and who is posessing it to figure out where to put the 's.

  2. The tricky part was e.g. if it said "My shoes" its hard to put the 's on a person's name.

    We solve this problem by saying "Spencer's friend" even thought Spencer not doing it his friend is.

    1. Spencer's shoes are untied

    2. Dylan's friend has a cat

    3. David's friend is coming

    4. Kelsie's computer is broken

    5. Brandon's friend has pet worms

    6. Amit's house is covered in snow

    7. Tejasv's family is at a beach

    -Spencer

    1. You've got the idea of the 's, but your sentences are missing one very important thing (we talked about this in class today).......

  3. Verda's shoes are cool.
    Alex's cat is fat.
    Christina's my friend.
    Dominic's best friend is a worm.
    Saqib's going to the beach.
    Verda's computer is awesome.
    Verda's leg hurts.

    If someone's name ends with an "s" Ex.James would turn to James' instead of James's. The apostrophe would be right after the persons name (Lewis') only if their name ended with an s. If not there would be an 's if the last letter of their name is not an s.

  7. The tricky instance for adding 's to the end of someone's name was when they had a "s" at the end of their name (ex. Thomas). We solve this by putting only an apostrophe at the end of their name (ex. Thomas').

    Tejasv's monkey is pink.


    If the end of a person's name ends with an s (Lucas) you would put an ' at the end of the person's name to show that something belongs to them.

    e.g Nicholas's shoe was untied would be wrong
    Nicholas' shoe was untied would be right
