English

Plurals, punctuation, apostrophes, and the order of events.

From the lesson · Apostrophes

Two girls share a room. Is it the girl's room or the girls' room?

  1. Ask who owns the room. Two girls do, so the owner word is girls, not girl.
  2. Write the owner word out exactly as it is: girls.
  3. Put the apostrophe straight after it. There is already an s there, so nothing more is added: girls'.

Answer: the girls' room

Not sure Grade 3 is right?

Each grade here practises the main topic most schools teach that year. It is not everything your child's school covers. Grades are a guide, not any province's program, so a short warm-up checks your child's level first, in each subject: a child can be in one grade for English and another for math. The level moves up as they learn.
