Q1 15
Question 1: Tom has a dog. ___ dog is very friendly. Question 1 options Check answer
'His' is correct because Tom is male, so we use 'his' as the possessive adjective. 'Her' is used for females, 'its' is used for non-human things, and 'their' is used for groups.

Question 2: I have a new bag. I love ___ new bag. Question 2 options Check answer
'My' is correct because the speaker uses 'I', so the matching possessive adjective is 'my'. 'Your' refers to the listener, 'our' refers to a group, and 'their' refers to others.

Question 3: Possessive adjectives always come before a noun. Question 3 options Check answer

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence: Question 5 options her ▲ ▼ little ▲ ▼ cat ▲ ▼ She ▲ ▼ loves ▲ ▼ Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.
Check answer
The correct order is 'She loves her little cat' because the possessive adjective 'her' must come directly before the noun 'cat', and the subject 'She' comes first.

Question 6: Which sentence is correct? Question 6 options Check answer
'Their car is new' is correct because 'their' is the possessive adjective for a group. 'They're car' confuses the contraction 'they are' with a possessive adjective. 'There car' uses a location word incorrectly. 'Theirs car' is a possessive pronoun and cannot precede a noun.

Question 7: A student says: 'I forgot ___ homework at home. Can I bring it tomorrow?' What does the student say? Question 7 options Check answer
'My' is correct because the student is talking about homework belonging to themselves. 'Your' refers to the listener's homework, 'our' implies shared homework, and 'their' refers to someone else's homework.
🚩 Found a problem with this question? Q8 15
Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses a possessive adjective (not a contraction)? Question 8 options Check answer
'Its tail is long' correctly uses 'its' as a possessive adjective with no apostrophe. 'It's tail' incorrectly uses the contraction 'it is', making no sense. The other two options use contractions ('you're' = you are, 'they're' = they are) instead of possessive adjectives.
🚩 Found a problem with this question? Q9 15
Question 9: Put the words in the correct order: Question 9 options our ▲ ▼ always do ▲ ▼ We ▲ ▼ homework ▲ ▼ Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.
Check answer
The correct order is 'We always do our homework' because the possessive adjective 'our' must come directly before the noun 'homework', and 'always' is fixed between the subject and main verb.
🚩 Found a problem with this question? Q10 15
Question 10: Anna and Ben have two kids. ___ kids go to school near the park. Question 10 options Check answer
'Their' is correct because it refers to a group of people (Anna and Ben) not including the speaker. 'His' is only for a single male, 'her' is only for a single female, and 'our' would include the speaker in the group.
🚩 Found a problem with this question? Q11 15
Question 11: Which statement about possessive adjectives is true? Question 11 options Check answer
Possessive adjectives change form depending on the subject they refer to — for example, 'my' for I, 'his' for he, 'her' for she. They do not change based on the noun that follows them.
🚩 Found a problem with this question? Q12 15
Question 12: Rewrite using a possessive adjective: 'The cat belonging to us is on the sofa.' → ___ cat is on the sofa. Question 12 options Check answer
'Our' is correct because 'belonging to us' refers to the speaker and a group, so we replace it with the possessive adjective 'our'. 'My' is only for the speaker alone, 'your' is for the listener, and 'their' excludes the speaker.

Is your brother a teacher?
Paul loves his new job.

First person singular possessive adjective
Second person possessive adjective
Third person plural possessive adjective

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

🚩 Found a problem with this question? Q14 15
Question 14: The possessive adjective 'its' requires an apostrophe when used to show that something belongs to an animal or object. Question 14 options Check answer
False. When 'its' is used as a possessive adjective to show ownership, it never has an apostrophe. 'It's' with an apostrophe is only a contraction of 'it is' or 'it has', not a possessive form.
🚩 Found a problem with this question? Q15 15
Question 15: Which sentence uses a possessive adjective to show that one specific female owns the item? Question 15 options Check answer
'Her coat is on the chair' uses 'her', the possessive adjective for a single female subject. 'Their' refers to a group, 'our' includes the speaker, and 'my' refers only to the speaker.
