How do you know witch words to put apostrophes on?

First of all..."yes and no" not "yes and know". You meant to use KNOW. A witch rides a broom with a black cat. You meant WHICH. For apostrophes, they go on conjunctions like can't and don't. If you can split the conjunction into two...can not and do not... it needs an apostrophy. Sound out the conjunction and put the apostrophy where you took out the letter. In "can't" the apostrophy took the place of the O.The hardest one is its and it's. Read this: It's the dog's ball. The dog hit it with its paw. Repleace the its and it's with "it is" if it makes sense it needs an apostrophy. Apostrophys are also needed when giving ownership to something. Like the dog sentence... it is the dog's ball. The ball belongs to the dog. This type of apostrophy almost always comes before an S.
