(1) Everything I know about gardening I learned from my good friend Sandy. (2) When I first moved from Iowa to Georgia last May, I tried planting a vegetable garden right away. (3) As I happily weeded the ground I thought to myself, “My garden’s produce will be here in a few weeks! I am going to be eating homegrown food in no time!” (4) A few weeks later, when I was digging up seeds that had not even sprouted yet, Sandy came over to introduce herself with a basket of fresh produce from her garden. (5) When she showed me her big, healthy vegetable garden and offered me some gardening tips, I decided to listen hard. (6) Sandy explained that I should first call the water district office to have my water and soil tested. (7) Then she taught me how to cultivate rich and healthy soil and helped me identify which types of plants are best for the environment in my yard. (8) A full twelve months later, this year’s garden is looking so much better than the scraggly patch of dirt I had last year. (9) Of course, I am still new to gardening, so I don’t have a very big garden yet. (10) But I have big dreams. (11) My dream is that one day my garden will be just as beautiful and productive as Sandy’s!
Which of these sentences features a possessive noun?
1. sentence 1
2. sentence 5
3. sentence 7
4. sentence 11****
Right
Thanks!!!
To find the sentence that features a possessive noun, we need to identify a noun that shows ownership.
Looking at the options:
1. "Everything I know about gardening I learned from my good friend Sandy." - This sentence uses a pronoun ("my") to show a relationship, not a possessive noun.
2. "When she showed me her big, healthy vegetable garden and offered me some gardening tips, I decided to listen hard." - This sentence features a possessive noun. The noun "garden" is modified by the possessive pronoun "her."
3. "Then she taught me how to cultivate rich and healthy soil and helped me identify which types of plants are best for the environment in my yard." - This sentence does not contain a possessive noun. The pronoun "my" is used to show a relationship, not ownership.
4. "My dream is that one day my garden will be just as beautiful and productive as Sandy’s!" - This sentence also features a possessive noun. The noun "garden" is modified by the possessive pronoun "my," and "Sandy's" is used to show possession of the garden.
Therefore, the correct answer is 4. sentence 11.
