Answer 1

To show possession for singular nouns, add an apostrophe and "s" (e.g., the dog's bone), while for plural nouns that already end in "s," just add an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., the dogs' park). For contractions, an apostrophe replaces omitted letters (e.g., don't for do not, it's for it is).
