Apostrophe

Apostrophe is used to show possession. Singular possession is only used for one person. Plural possession is used for more than one person.

Example of singular possession : Angeline’s comb, Mrs Smith’s car, Thomas’s book

Comb, car and book are possession.

Example of plural possession : dancers’ clothes, actresses’ shoes, books’ cover

To show plural possession, put the apostrophe after ‘s’ or ‘es’.

For irregular noun like children and men, we put apostrophe before ‘s’.

E.g children’s playground, men’s jacket

Apostrophe is also used to form contraction.

Example : Is not – isn’t, has not – hasn’t, he is – he’s, they will – they’ll, it is – it’s, it has – it’s
