Answer 1

To show possession for a singular noun, add an apostrophe and "s" (e.g., "the dog's leash"), while for plural nouns that end in "s," just add an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "the dogs' park") or "’s" if they don’t end in "s" (e.g., "the children's toys"). For contractions, use an apostrophe to indicate missing letters (e.g., "don’t" for "do not").
