Best Answer

You put the apostrophe before the 's' in singular nouns, and after the addition of the 's' in plural nouns. So for example:

The cat's toy. (Here, we have one cat who is in possession of the toy.)

The cats' toy. (Here, we have multiple cats who are in possession of the toy.)

Hope that helps!

The apostrophe indicates where letters have been removed from the original words to make the contraction.

You only put one apostrophe even if more than one letter has been removed.
