Use an apostrophe when writing about someone (a noun) that has possession of something. A) true b) false. Is the answer a) true?
True.
Yes, the answer is a) true. To determine whether or not to use an apostrophe when writing about someone's possession of something, you can follow a simple rule. Use an apostrophe followed by an "s" ('s) to indicate possession for singular nouns. For example, "the cat's tail" indicates that the tail belongs to the cat.
However, if the noun is plural and already ends in an "s," you can simply add an apostrophe after the existing "s" without adding another "s" afterward. For instance, "the teachers' lounge" shows that the lounge belongs to multiple teachers.
It's important to note that an apostrophe is not used for possessive pronouns like "its," "ours," "yours," and "theirs."
