add apostrophes, where needed, to the sentences below.

my cars headlights were damaged in the collision.

during the match, frances goalkeeper fouled a player and gave away a penalty.

megans mother saw roberts father whilst she was out shopping.

Explanation:

Analyze the first sentence

The noun "boys" refers to the owners of the "boots." Depending on whether there is one boy or multiple boys, we apply Possessive Apostrophes. If it is a singular boy, we use Singular Possessives to get "boy's." If it is multiple boys, we use Plural Possessives to get "boys'." Both interpretations are grammatically correct, but "boys'" is highly common for a group. Let's provide the standard plural possessive "boys'" (or singular "boy's" as an alternative).

Analyze the second sentence

The noun "cars" refers to the owner of the "headlights." Since "headlights" is plural and typically belongs to one car in this context, we apply Singular Possessives to "car," making it "car's."

Analyze the third sentence

The proper noun "France" refers to the country owning or associated with the "goalkeeper." We apply Singular Possessives to the singular proper noun "France," making it "France's."

Analyze the fourth sentence

The proper nouns "Megan" and "Robert" are singular owners of "mother" and "father" respectively. We apply Singular Possessives to both, resulting in "Megan's" and "Robert's."

Answer:

Question 1

The boys' boots were covered in mud from the field. (Note: "boy's" is also correct if referring to a single boy)

Question 2

My car's headlights were damaged in the collision.

Question 3

During the match, France's goalkeeper fouled a player and gave away a penalty.

Question 4

Megan's mother saw Robert's father whilst she was out shopping.
