What are two reasons we use apostrophes in the English language? (1 point)

1 answer

We use apostrophes in the English language for two main reasons:

  1. Possession: Apostrophes indicate that something belongs to someone or something. For example, in "the dog's leash," the apostrophe shows that the leash belongs to the dog.

  2. Contraction: Apostrophes are used to indicate omitted letters in contractions. For instance, in "don't" (do not) or "it's" (it is), the apostrophe replaces the missing letters.
