You know one of most confusing thing in grammar is the Apostrophe: when and when not to use the Apostrophe. I’m Page Carerra. We’re gonna take a look and five easier ways to identify where you should use an Apostrophe.
Let’s take
closer look. I’ve got five examples for
you:
- Toms secret: Basically it’s
pretty easy when you’re trying to show ownership, which is the first
example, when you should use Apostrophe. Cause you basically saying, whose
secrete is it? It’s Tom’s, it’s
showing that Tom owns secret, and that showing ownership.
- The second way to use an Apostrophe
is when you showing ownership to a noun that may be ends in s, this is
singular noun ends in s. And still
you wanna use Apostrophe s here, when you trying to explain the bus’s
schedule.
- The next example is when you have a
plural noun and you want to show ownership. ‘the children’s playground’ this is a
correct here. You wouldn’t want to
leave s here and then put an Apostrophe, because this itself is ‘children’.
it’s collective noun rather. And so
this is correct, or if it makes more sense. ‘Or the people’s choice award’. People as plural noun here and all you
have to do is just putting an Apostrophe s on the end.
- And the fourth instance, when you wanna
use an Apostrophe, it’s a use for contractions that brings two words
together. Do not is an example that
we use a lot, and contraction for this would be don’t. Another example would be can not. Of
course, Can’t is another example.
Don’t run across the street, again don’t is your contraction here,
and you wanna use a shorten word.
Do not, cause you’re talking about not running across the street,
and this is where you use Apostrophe.
- A lot of students find example is when
you’re talking about dates and letters.
Example in 1990’s there were plenty of thing’s going on in
