In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions. in 5 grade words

Answer 1

You use an apostrophe to show that something belongs to someone, like in "Sam's book," where the book belongs to Sam. For plural nouns that end in "s," like "dogs," you add just an apostrophe after the "s" to show possession, like "the dogs' toys." An apostrophe also helps make contractions, like "don't" for "do not," by taking away letters and showing a shorter form.
