Whose is it? / Whose are they? - Celebrity Things Quiz (Possessive 'S)

You are going to
  • practise the possessive 'S
  • do a quiz



Discuss
When do we use the possessive 'S ?

When we want to show who owns something we usually add 's to a noun or the person's name.
- David Beckham's phone

If the name of the person already ends with S we move the  '  (apostrophe) to after the final S of the name.
- Chris Evans' phone


Do the exercise.
