Question

In one to two sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for a singular and plural noun and to form contractions

Answer 1

To show possession for a singular noun, add an apostrophe followed by "s" (e.g., the dog's leash), and for plural nouns that already end in "s," add just an apostrophe (e.g., the dogs' park). To form contractions, replace omitted letters with an apostrophe (e.g., "don't" for "do not" and "it's" for "it is").
