An apostrophe is used to represent missing characters in a contraction.
Two examples are: I've for I have : you'refor you are.
Li'l (the apostrophe takes place of the missing letters)
The contraction of "must have" is "must've" -- the apostrophe takes the place of the letters that have been deleted.
Je m'appelle Sandro. Apostrophes are used in French only to take the place of missing letters in contractions. The example given means literally, "I call me (or myself) Sandro." "M'appelle" is a contraction for "me" and "appelle" and the apostrophe takes the place of the dropped "e".
The contraction of "does not" is spelled "doesn't". The apostrophe takes the place of the "o" from "not".
The covaledictorian is the person who takes the place of the valedictorian is missing. The covaledictorian is the person who takes the place of the valedictorian is missing.
Li'l (the apostrophe takes place of the missing letters)
No, the word o'clock is a contraction, a shortened for of the prepositional phrase 'of the clock'. The apostrophe in a contraction takes the place of the missing letters.
The contraction of "must have" is "must've" -- the apostrophe takes the place of the letters that have been deleted.
Wherever a letter (or letters) is missing is where the apostrophe should go. For example, in do not or can not the contraction drops the 'o' in 'not' so the apostrophe takes its place - don't; can't. In this same way, whenever 's is used, the apostrophe is taking the place of the 'i' in 'is'.
Je m'appelle Sandro. Apostrophes are used in French only to take the place of missing letters in contractions. The example given means literally, "I call me (or myself) Sandro." "M'appelle" is a contraction for "me" and "appelle" and the apostrophe takes the place of the dropped "e".
The contraction of "does not" is spelled "doesn't". The apostrophe takes the place of the "o" from "not".
The covaledictorian is the person who takes the place of the valedictorian is missing. The covaledictorian is the person who takes the place of the valedictorian is missing.
to indicate possession as in "Fred's pen" to fill the space left by a letter omitted in a contraction eg doesn't in full is does not, the apostrophe takes the place of the missing o
"Its" without an apostrophe shows possession, as in "its hair is brown." Other possessive pronouns include my, your, his, her, our, and their. "It's" with an apostrophe is always a contraction of two words, in which a letter or letters has been removed. For example, "It's a boy" is a contraction for "It is a boy" and the apostrophe takes the place of the missing "i." Also, the initial question should read, "When does "its" have an apostrophe?" But don't worry about that. It's good enough to learn the difference between its (a possessive adjective) and it's (a contraction of "it is").
It s: aren't The apostrophe (') takes place of the O in not.
The word mustn't is a contraction, a shortened form for the verb (or auxiliary verb) 'must' and the adverb 'not'. The apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter 'o'. The contraction functions as a verb (or auxiliary verb) in a sentence. Example:We must not be late for school. Or, We mustn't be late for school.
