Would you use an apostrophe in the sentence Please meet the Smith's?

The Smiths in this case would simply be the plural of Smith. So there would be NO apostrophe. Plural, meaning both persons as a married couple: Please meet the Smiths. The Smiths were away when their house was robbed. Plural Singular The robber took the Smith's television. The Smith's home owners policy covered the theft. IF you had a large meeting for all families named Smith, the simple plural would also be Smiths. However, for plural possessive, you'd first have Smiths with an apostrophe added, like this: All the Smiths from Washington, DC attended a city-wide picnic. While there, all the Smiths' (s apostrophe) cars were vandalized. The picnic's promoters, the Browns, were doubly embarrassed; none of the Browns' (s apostrophe) cars were damaged.
