Best Answer

s' is used as an apostrophe for a word that refers to plural form, for example saying The girls' toys. In this instance it refers to the toys of more than one girl. You would also use s' for names ending with an s, such as Tess' toys.

's is used as an apostrophe for a word that refers to singular form, for example saying The girl's toys. This refers to the toys of just one girl. You would also use 's with names such as Tom's toys
