Understand how to use pronouns to indicate possession

Unlike regular nouns, possessive forms of pronouns do not use apostrophes to identify ownership. This worksheet presents a set of sentences that intentionally do not use pronouns. The student's job is to rewrite the sentences to shorten and simplify them by using the correct possessive pronoun form.

There are two types of possessive pronouns sentences to select from. One type requires that they be used immediately before the noun they refer to, e.g. that is my slice of pizza while the other type is used alone, without the noun nearby, e.g. that slice of pizza is mine. Both types can be included on the same worksheet.
