Remember that Mrs Price and I will be visiting today to drop off new activity books!
An apostrophe is the same shape as a comma (,) but it lives up high! (')
They can be used to show that one thing belongs to another.
When we are talking about one thing, we call this singular (e.g. one rabbit, a teacher, the cat).
When we need to say that something belongs to something singular, we add an apostrophe and the letter 's' to the end of the name it belongs to. For example, the rabbit's leg, a teacher's pen, the cat's bed.
Can you add the missing apostrophes to these sentences?
