The word years is a common plural noun. It requires no apostrophe.
Previous is a modifier, an adjective, for years. It requires no apostrophe.
If the word years has a possession or belonging, it needs an apostrophe.
The previous years' tallies were finished.
I wanted to study the previous years' records.
Yes. The singular value is "(one) year's time" and multiple is "(number) years' time."
If there is a possession being signified, then yes. Example: Last year's numbers are better than this year's numbers. If there is no possession, then no. Example: These last years have been the best of my life!
The apostrophe for a plural noun ending in -s is placed after the ending -s.Example: The two years' growth of the sapling is more than a foot.
You would put it between the {(year's) (r and s)}.
No, you don't need an apostrophe in for years to come. Years is plural in that sentence, not possessive. (Apostrophes are not used to make words plural.)
It depends. If you are talking about "the year's best game," there's an apostrophe. If you're talking about "two or more years," there is no apostrophe.
The apostrophe in "years" goes before the "s" to show possession, like this: "years'."
The apostrophe has two functions: to indicate missing letters due to contraction or abbreviation, and to indicate the possessive. I can't tell you which of the two is the apostrophe's main function. (The previous sentence uses both: "can't" is a contraction and "apostrophe's" is a possessive)
No, the sentence "She has almost 30 years experience" does not require an apostrophe after the s in the word years. The word "years" is used as a plural noun in this context, describing the duration of experience, so no apostrophe is needed.
Yes. The singular value is "(one) year's time" and multiple is "(number) years' time."
If there is a possession being signified, then yes. Example: Last year's numbers are better than this year's numbers. If there is no possession, then no. Example: These last years have been the best of my life!
The apostrophe for a plural noun ending in -s is placed after the ending -s.Example: The two years' growth of the sapling is more than a foot.
No
It should be: Linda's Early Years
Yes, when it is New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. They are possessives, as in the day that belongs to a new year. If you are talking about plurals, then there is no apostrophe, like "New years are not like old years".
The correct grammatical expression is "this year's recipient". It is then a clear declaration that the "recipient" belongs to "this year".
No. It should be New Year Party.
