It should be Mother's Day.
Mothers is more than one mother. Mother's is something that belongs to a mother. "The mothers group is meeting Tuesday." "My mother's car is in the shop."
To form the possessive for the plural noun mothers, place an apostorphe after the ending s: mothers'.Example: We do have several fathers on our mothers' committee.
An apostrophe signifies possession - the thing belongs to the person pr people named So If my mother has a car then - my mother's car = my mom's car If my mother is a member of a committee made up of other mothers, then the committee she is on might be "The Moms' Committee" For one mother - the apostrophe goes before the s, for a group of mothers the apostrophe goes after the s.
An apostrophe is not required.
The apostrophe in a contraction holds the place of a letter or group of letters. Example: Don't = Do not (the apostrophe holds the place of the 'o') They've = They have (the apostrophe holds the place of the 'ha')
Yes. It actually depends on what you are trying to say. If you are referring to something that belongs to a mother, as in, for example, "My mother's car is green", then mother would have an apostrophe in it. However, if you are referring to more than one mother, for example "There are a lot of mothers at the game", then mothers will not have an apostrophe in it. But if you want to talk about something that belongs to more than one mother, for example "All the mothers' cars are green", it would get an apostrophe at the end of mothers.
The apostrophe goes between the r and the s,showing mother's possession of the birthday.Example:"Tomorrow is his mother's birthday."An exception would be if you were talking about two mothers who shared a birthday. Then one might say "Tomorrow is the mothers' birthday," as it is now mothers that possess the birthday.
The difference is the placement of the apostrophe. "Mother's" with an apostrophe before the "s" is possessive, indicating something belonging to one mother, whereas "mothers'" with an apostrophe after the "s" is possessive, indicating something belonging to multiple mothers.
No. In this case, the word "mothers" is only plural. The construction "mothers of the bride and groom" takes away the need for a possessive "s" and apostrophe.
No. "Mother's" means "belonging to the mother." You are talking about a simple plural. No apostrophe for plurals. Say: Presentation of roses to the mothers of the bride and groom

Sunday, May 12 is Mothers Day.
No, the plural form of "day" is "days" and does not require an apostrophe. An apostrophe is used to show possession or contraction, not to form plurals.
