Like all apostrophes, there are two things it might be doing: indicating ownership, or signalling the absence of some letters. Since there are letters other than S following it, the apostrophe here is to replace some letters, or a letter.
Here, it signals the absence of the letter D; the correct and whole spelling is 'madam'.
The apostrophe in "ma'am" is a contraction that replaces the missing letter "d" from the word "madam." It is used as a respectful way to address a woman.
"I'd" is the contraction for "I would" using an apostrophe.
Not in that sentence. If you mean "something belonging to the governor", then it should have an apostrophe. If you mean "more than one governor" then it should not. (If you mean something belonging to more than one governor, then it should have one, but it should be after the s instead of before it.)
An apostrophe is a punctuation mark used to indicate possession or to show where letters have been omitted in contractions. It is also used in some plural forms of numbers and letters.
The apostrophe for "they had" is "they'd".
The apostrophe in "nor'wester" is a contraction of the word "northerly." It is often used in nautical and meteorological contexts to describe a strong wind blowing from the north or northwest.
"Believes" does not have an apostrophe. It is the plural form of "belief."
The word there's is a contraction for there is. The apostrophe substitutes for the i in is.
maam
maam
I'm a women and personaly I love it when a guy says maam to me. However there are a group of women who are usualywho want to be younger and calling them maam sometime offends them because it can be a sign of old age, like they think only the old people get called maam. But for the most part when you call a women maam they think how polite and thoughtfull, so go a head and use it, you'll get more happiness then ridicule.
You mean an apostrophe used in a contraction.I did not like him.I didn't like him.
D. Maam has written: 'Gazar shoroo' 'Gazar Shoroo' -- subject(s): Mongols, Fiction, History
Possibly short for Madam?
yes sir/maam

apostrophe '
If you mean as an abbreviation of 'old', then the apostrophe would be at the end of the word (ol'), because the apostrophe shows that the 'd' at the end of the word has been omitted.
