Question

In 2 sentences explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular plural and form contractions.

Answer 1

To show possession for a singular noun, place an apostrophe followed by the letter "s" after the noun (e.g., "The cat's tail"). For plural nouns that already end in "s," just add an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "The dogs' toys"). Contractions are formed by placing an apostrophe in place of omitted letters (e.g., "can't" for "cannot" or "he's" for "he is").
