Apostrophe Placement ("Tetris" Game)

home▸sitemap▸games & tests ▸apostrophe placement game

Here is an interactive game to help you learn the apostrophe-placement rules.

Each falling question has a correct possessive apostrophe and a wrong one.
Click on the correct one to score points and to make the question disappear.
If you click on the wrong one (or do not click), the question will fall to the bottom.
The wrongly answered or unanswered questions will start to build up.
When the screen is full, you're toast.
The game starts at "easy," but you can change the level during the game. The harder the level, the more points you score per correct answer.
Good luck!
