Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
A. My teammates’s names are Trevon, James and Tammy.
B. My teammates’ names are Trevon, James and Tammy.
C. My teammate’s names are Trevon, James and Tammy.
D. My teammates’ names’ are Trevon, James and Tammy.
I think its c but i felt like that was too easy so i think its wrong. please help.
think its B!!!! now
B is correct.
Well, let's take a closer look. In option A, "teammates's" would mean the names belong to only one teammate, which is grammatically incorrect. Option D has an extra apostrophe and an unnecessary 's at the end, so that's definitely not right. Option C, "teammate's names," would suggest that there's only one teammate, which doesn't match the plural "names." So the correct choice must be B: "My teammates' names are Trevon, James, and Tammy." Congratulations, you got it right! No need to doubt yourself.
The correct sentence that is punctuated properly is option B: "My teammates’ names are Trevon, James and Tammy."
In this sentence, the plural possessive form of "teammates" is correctly indicated with an apostrophe after the final "s" (teammates'). This shows that the names belong to more than one teammate. Additionally, the names are listed correctly with commas separating them.
To determine which sentence is punctuated correctly, let's examine each option:
A. My teammates’s names are Trevon, James and Tammy.
The apostrophe in "teammates’s" should not be used for plural possessive. The correct form would be "teammates'". This option is incorrect.
B. My teammates’ names are Trevon, James and Tammy.
This sentence correctly uses the apostrophe after "teammates" to indicate plural possessive. Option B is correctly punctuated.
C. My teammate’s names are Trevon, James and Tammy.
This sentence uses the apostrophe after "teammate," indicating singular possessive. However, since the sentence mentions multiple names, it should use the plural possessive form "teammates'". Option C is incorrect.
D. My teammates’ names’ are Trevon, James and Tammy.
This sentence incorrectly uses the plural possessive "teammates'" followed by another possessive "names'". The second possessive is unnecessary. Option D is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. My teammates’ names are Trevon, James, and Tammy.
