Grammar for Grownups Quiz #53

Spelling

The worst part of grammar is the spelling. The biggest joy of grammar lies in knowing where to place the apostrophes. Sometimes it's the difference between plural nouns and possessive nouns when they all add in "s". In the following sentences, decide whether or not to add that apostrophe:

1. The apples used in the pie were Granny Smith apples.

2. Ill show you mine if youll show me yours.

3. In a situation like this, its the parents responsibility.

4. Tell me: is this yours, ours, or theirs?

5. Would you try theirs if theres the chance its unsafe?

6. The deers path crossed right in front of our cabin.

7. Anyone knows how to find the mices nest.

8. Todays game begins at 2 p.m., right after the pitchers nap.
