Write three sentences that use an apostrophe correctly. One sentence must use an apostrophe with a plural noun that ends in "s". The other two sentences must use the apostrophe in two different ways.

1. Tom’s room is unorganized.
2. I believe Americans’ should never use credit cards.
3. It’s extremely warm outside.

Here are some examples:

The boys' toys were all over the front yard.
We wanted to see my friends' new performance.
