Notes for teachers

Use this test after introducing possessive adjectives and the possessive 's, or as a review. It targets typical A1 errors: confusing his/her, its/it's, their/they're/there and whose/who's, using subject pronouns or 'mine/ours' before a noun, and putting the apostrophe in the wrong place with plurals. As a follow-up, ask students to bring a family photo and describe it using my, his, her and names with 's.
