Is it boxes or boxe's?
When making a plural from a word that ends in "x", you will always add an "-es".Example sentences:Singular: She held the box in her hand.Plural: She held the boxes in her hands.Singular: The box was full of trash.Plural: The boxes were full of trash.Singular: She put the box into the trash bin.Plural: She put the boxes into the trash bin.The apostrophe s ('s) is only used for possessives, meaning the box "owns" the next word or the box is related somehow to the next word in the sentence.Example sentences:The box's flaps tore so they wouldn't close.The box's contents were X-rayed for explosives.The box's label showed my name and address.Don't confuse apostrophe s with a plural. You can have a single apostrohe ( ' ) on a plural to indicate "plural plus possessive".Example sentences:The axes' handles were solid wood. (note the -es indicates plural, and one apostrophe is added to show possessive: axes' (related to/owns their) handles.The boxes' sides were crushed. (multiple boxes=plural, so "-es is added after the x, but the sides are 'owned by' all the boxes so add an apostrophe).
