Question

in 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possesion for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions

Answer 1

To show possession for singular nouns, add an apostrophe followed by an "s" (e.g., "the dog's leash"), and for plural nouns that already end in "s," place the apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "the dogs' park"). For contractions, use an apostrophe to indicate omitted letters (e.g., "don't" for "do not" and "it's" for "it is").
