    By Liza Milicevic

    What an apostrophe looks like:

    APOSTROPHES

    People are usually confused and ask themselves when I


    should use them or if they go before or after the s.
    What are apostrophes used for?
    Apostrophes are used to show possession and omission.
    Possession is when you own something.
    Omission is when letters are missing from a word.

    Omission

    APOSTROPHES TO SHOW POSSESSION (RULES)

    To show or indicate possession the possessive form of a noun is shown as follows:

    In the singular, the possessive form is made by adding 's For example:

    bird

    the bird's nest

    boy

    the boy's football

    school

    the school's classroom

    When the plural form of a noun is made by adding s to the singular, the possessive
    is shown by adding an apostrophe (') after the plural, that is to say- the possessive is
    shown by adding an apostrophe after the s (s'). For example:
    bird

    the birds' nests

    boy

    the boys' footballs

    school

    the schools' classrooms

    When the plural form of a noun is not made by adding s (irregular plural), the
    possessive is shown by adding 's. For example:
    men

    the men's cars

    children

    the children 's books

    women

    the women 's changing room
