In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions. (2 points)
To show possession for singular nouns, add an apostrophe followed by “s” (e.g., "the dog's leash"). For plural nouns that end in "s," simply add an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "the dogs' park"), while in the case of plural nouns that do not end in "s," add apostrophe "s" (e.g., "the children's toys"). For contractions, combine two words by replacing omitted letters with an apostrophe (e.g., "can't" for "cannot").
sort it and make it look like a 8th grader
To show possession with singular nouns, add an apostrophe and “s” (e.g., "the dog's leash"). For plural nouns that end in “s,” just add an apostrophe after the “s” (e.g., "the dogs' park"). For plural nouns that don’t end in “s,” add an apostrophe and “s” (e.g., "the children's toys"). To form contractions, combine two words by replacing the missing letters with an apostrophe (e.g., "can't" for "cannot").
dose the e.g., have to be in there
No, "e.g." does not have to be included. It’s just a way to introduce examples. You can simply use a colon or provide the examples without it. Here’s a revised version without "e.g.":
To show possession with singular nouns, add an apostrophe and “s” (the dog's leash). For plural nouns that end in “s,” just add an apostrophe after the “s” (the dogs' park). For plural nouns that don’t end in “s,” add an apostrophe and “s” (the children's toys). To form contractions, combine two words by replacing the missing letters with an apostrophe (can’t for cannot).
also do ou have to add a examples to it
No, you don't have to include examples if you don't want to. You can explain possession and contractions clearly without them. Here’s a version without examples:
To show possession with singular nouns, add an apostrophe and “s.” For plural nouns that end in “s,” add an apostrophe after the “s.” For plural nouns that don’t end in “s,” add an apostrophe and “s.” To form contractions, combine two words by replacing the missing letters with an apostrophe.
im confuss you said add an apostrophe after the “s". do i put "s". even tho the other one has a "s:,
I understand the confusion. Here’s a clearer explanation:
- For singular nouns, add an apostrophe and "s" (e.g., the dog’s leash).
- For plural nouns that end in "s," just add an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., the dogs’ park).
- For plural nouns that do not end in "s," add an apostrophe and "s" (e.g., the children’s toys).
So, to summarize, when you’re showing possession:
- Use "’s" for singular nouns.
- Use only "’" for plural nouns that already end in "s."
- Use "’s" for plural nouns that don’t end in "s."
