Question

In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions. (2 points)

To show possession for singular nouns, place the apostrophe before the "s" (e.g. John's book). For plural nouns ending in "s," place the apostrophe after the "s" (e.g. the dogs' toys). To form contractions, replace the missing letters with an apostrophe (e.g. can't for cannot).
