An apostrophe is used when showing ownership or possession: The boy's book is on the table. My mother's house is on that street.

An apostrophe is also used when you are abbreviating something (leaving out a letter, using a shorter form of a word): Don't tell me that! He isn't going to school today. (Don't is the short form of "do not." Isn't is the abbreviation for "is not".)
