Choose the correct form of the possessive for the underlined word in the following sentence: “A YEARS worth of hard work has finally paid off.” ( "years" is underlined)
should it be:
year
years
years'
year's
year's
year
To determine the correct form of possessive for the underlined word "years" in the sentence "A YEARS worth of hard work has finally paid off," you need to consider whether the word is singular or plural.
In this case, "years" is plural because it is referring to more than one year. Since it is already plural, you don't need to add an "s" to show possession.
The correct form of the possessive for the plural word "years" is "years'." So the correct answer is "years'."
It's only one year and it's possessive.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
