mother's The apostrophe s can substitute for "has" or "is" or "was"; it can also mark possession. My mother's shoes. In this case, apostrophe s does not abbreviate anything.

No, the possessive word its is a pronoun. The possessive pronouns and the possessive adjectives do not use an apostrophe to show possession. They are:possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, their, its.When an apostrophe is placed in the word, it's, that is the contraction for itis. For example:It is time for lunch.It's time for lunch.
Use an apostrophe in the word only if you are using the contraction of the two words it and is. It's time to go! It was wagging its tail.
It depends on whether you are simply using the plural noun (no apostrophe) or forming a possessive (with an apostrophe). Examples:The school sent a letter to all parents. [Plural noun. No apostrophe.]We found a parent's cellphone after the meeting. ["Parent" is singular, so the apostrophe, making it a possessive, goes before the 's'.]The police came to his parents' home on Monday. ["Parents" is plural, so the apostrophe, making it a possessive, goes after the 's'.]
The same amount of time. But that time will depend on how far the different balls have to drop.Oh, and an apostrophe doesn't mean, "Here comes an s." There is no apostrophe in "does."
No. A spider is a spider and an apostrophe is an apostrophe.
