However, whether you noticed or not, we will look at how apostrophes are used in the sentences.
You will receive another tape-in about ---
• Apostrophes show two meanings.
• An apostrophe s added to a singular noun shows possession.
• An apostrophe after the s in a plural word shows possession.
• Apostrophes also show where letters were removed.
• Words shortened with apostrophes are called contractions.
Don’t let this confuse you:
• Not every word that ends with an s needs an apostrophe.
• Don’t rely on chance rather than meaning with the apostrophe
• Don’t use apostrophes to show pronoun possession.
