Question

Apostrophes show ownership and create a contraction. True or false

Answer 1

True. Apostrophes are used to indicate possession (ownership) by placing them before the "s" for singular nouns (e.g., "the dog's bone") and after the "s" for plural nouns that already end in "s" (e.g., "the dogs' park"). They are also used to create contractions, which combine two words and show where letters have been omitted (e.g., "don't" for "do not" and "it's" for "it is").
