An apostrophe is used to make a noun into a possessive noun. By adding an "apostrophe s" to the end of a word, or if the word already ends with an "s", you only add the "apostrophe" after the existing "s" at the end of the word to show that something in the sentence belongs to that noun.The apostrophe or apostrophe s shows possession.
No, you do not use an apostrophe "s" for plural words. An apostrophe "s" is used to indicate possession, showing that something belongs to someone or something (e.g., "the dog's toy"). For plural nouns, simply add "s" or "es" as needed (e.g., "cats," "buses").
