Contradictions are not word forms; contradictions are a logical incompatibility between two or more propositions. Perhaps you meant the word form, contractions.Contractions and possessive nouns use an apostrophe.A contraction is a shortened version of the written and spoken words, made by replacing some of the letters with an apostrophe. Examples:The words I am = I'm.The words I will = I'll.The words you are = you're.the words you will = you'll.the words could not = couldn't.the words should not - shouldn't.To form possessive nouns, an apostrophe s ('s) are added to the end of a word; for some words that already end with an s, just an apostrophe is added after the s at the end of the word. Examples:The shoes of my mother = my mother'sshoes.The leaves of the tree = the tree'sleaves.The trunk of the elephant = the elephant'strunk.The traffic of the city = the city'straffic.

In English, possessive pronouns, like adjectives, usually come before the nouns that they modify.
Possessive nouns (but not possessive pronouns) use apostrophes; therefore, "brother's" is possessive. "Brothers" is plural.
Possessive nouns show a relationship between the possessive noun and the noun that it shows possession for. An adjective may or may not be involved. John's book is on the desk. (The possessive form John's shows its relationship to the book, there are no adjectives in the sentence.)
