An apostrophe is used to indicate a possessive noun, either with apostrophe S for most words or an apostrophe alone for plurals ending in S. It is also used in contractions to indicate letters that have been removed, e.g. he is = he's or do not = don't. It is very rarely used to form plurals that cannot be clearly indicated in the normal fashion (How many this's are in this sentence?)
