"Theres" isn't actually a word. "There's" is a word, and is a contraction of "There is". "Theres" must have an apostrophe to mean anything at all in the English language.
When there is a plural possesive. Example: All the farmers' feilds were attacked by crows.
An apostrophe used after the letter S at the end of the word generally means it is a plural possessive, such as "cats' meow" which is basically referring the meow to all of the cats (plural).Sometimes, however, some words will end in an S without being a plural, such as names, but the apostrophe still indicates that it is possessive. For example "James' notebook" which is saying that the notebook belongs to a singular James.
The sign of the possessive of all English plurals ending in s is a final apostrophe: cities'
No. You can, however, add an apostrophe -s: Phoenix's.The best strategy of all is to add 'es', giving you "Phoenixes"That's English---Adding apostrophe s indicates that something belongs to Phoenix. Apostrophes aren't used to create plurals.In English, -es is added to words to create plurals, not possessives.
It all depends on how you are using the word city, but an apostrophe can be used appropriately like this: City's Cities'
"Theres" isn't actually a word. "There's" is a word, and is a contraction of "There is". "Theres" must have an apostrophe to mean anything at all in the English language.
An apostrophe is needed: the bosses' profits = the profits of all the bosses the boss's profits = the profits of the boss When the noun is plural, the apostrophe goes at the end of the word. When the noun is singular, the apostrophe goes after the word, before the s. Hope this helps.
You don't need an apostrophe in that sentence. Studentsis a plural word, not a possessive.
all saints eve
The word 'it' is singular and has no plural. Therefore it cannot have a plural possessive form.However, the possessive form of it is its, without an apostrophe. It is commonly written incorrectly, with an apostrophe. It's means it is or it has. Like all possessive pronouns, there is no apostrophe (e.g. hers, his, theirs)
The word Halloween or Hallowe'en dates to about 1745 and is of Christian origin. The word "Hallowe'en" means "Saints' evening". It comes from a Scottish term for All Hallows' Eve (the evening before All Hallows' Day).
all saints day
If an apostrophe is after the "s" in a word, it typically indicates possession or ownership by multiple people or things. For example, "teachers'" means something belongs to multiple teachers.
S-apostrophe is used when the word which you are making possessive is plural. Apostrophe-s is used when the word you are making possessive is singular. for example: There are 5 shadows here, and they are all black. The shadows' color is black. There is only 1 shadow here, and it is black. The shadow's color is black.
The apostrophe is not needed because deer is a singular and plural word. The sentence should read 'These deer antlers all have eight points.'
Hallowe'en is a shortening of All Hallow's Evening, or All Hallow's Eve, as in the night before All Hallows' Day (as in Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas). Hallow is an old English word for saint, and so Hallowe'en is the night before All Saints' Day, traditionally the most holy day in the Church of England calendar. Hallow'een was the night that the demons were free to roam the lands, as it was known that they would not be able to on All Saints' Day.
