S-apostrophe is used when the word which you are making possessive is plural. Apostrophe-s is used when the word you are making possessive is singular. for example: There are 5 shadows here, and they are all black. The shadows' color is black. There is only 1 shadow here, and it is black. The shadow's color is black.
