An apostrophe is a punctuation mark used primarily to indicate possession or to form contractions in writing. For example, it shows ownership, as in "the dog's bone," or combines words, such as in "don't" for "do not." Additionally, apostrophes are sometimes used in plural forms of letters or symbols, like "mind your p's and q's." Proper use of apostrophes helps clarify meaning and improve the readability of text.
