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

Answer 1

To show possession, add an apostrophe followed by "s" for singular nouns (e.g., "the dog's leash") and just an apostrophe for plural nouns that already end in "s" (e.g., "the dogs' park"). For contractions, use an apostrophe to replace omitted letters (e.g., "can't" for "cannot" or "it's" for "it is").
