Teacher Insights 

  • At this level, students are just recognizing pronouns and  irregular possessive nouns; they are not required to independently identify them.

  • Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns.

    • Pronouns are an important part of our language and speech becomes awkward without them.

    • Types of pronouns

  • A possessive noun indicates ownership between one thing and another.

    • To identify a possessive with a singular noun or a plural noun that does not end in s, an apostrophe and an s will be added to the end.

      • girl’s necklace

      • people’s thoughts

    • To identify a possessive with a plural noun that ends in s, look for words with just an apostrophe at the end.This includes plural nouns that end in ies.

      • boys’ shirts

      • parties’ balloons

    • Remember  to place others before self.

      • She and I enjoy walking around the neighborhood.  (correct)

      • I and she enjoy walking around the neighborhood.  (incorrect)

  • Irregular nouns do not follow the basic rules of pluralization. To make them plural, their spelling must be changed instead of simply adding -s or -es.

    • Examples:

      • Plural nouns that end in ves: elves, calves, knives, etc.

      • Nouns made plural by changing vowels, changing the word, or adding a different ending: men, people, mice, teeth, etc.

      • Nouns that have the same spelling as their singular form: scissors, pants, bison, deer, sheep, etc.

  • Irregular possessive nouns are irregular plural nouns used to show possession.  

    • women’s cars

  • knives’ prices


Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
