Apostrophe Placement Game
Apostrophe Placement ("Tetris" 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 harder the level, the more points you score per correct answer.)
- Good luck!
