An apostrophe is a punctuation mark. Use an apostrophe to show possessive before the letter S at the end of the word. An apostrophe looks like a single quote mark, but properly, like a single closing quote mark. Too many people simply add an apostrophe at the end of a word before the letter S, when they really intend to show the plural case, not the possessive case.
