An apostrophe is used in a proper name to show possession. Leah's dress, David's voice, and Justin's hair, for example.
Yes! =)
You use it when you are referring to the person's property if they have an 's' at the end of their name, for example: You COULD use Jones's books OR Jones' books
It (apostrophe at the end of a name) is used to show that a thing belongs or pertains to the person to whose name it is affixed. "This is Doug's dog."It's also used as a contraction for 'Name is'; "Doug's not here."
You use an apostrophe after a person's name to show possession of the object that follows the name, e.g., "This is John's hat," or "These are Mary's opinions." If the name already ends in an s, this is what you write: "This is James' magic bag." Compared to: "This is Kragen's magic bag."
Yes, a last name should have an apostrophe for possessive use. For example, if you want to indicate something belonging to someone with the last name Smith, you would write "Smith's." The apostrophe and the letter "s" show that the item belongs to the person named Smith. If the last name is pluralized, such as "the Smiths," you would use an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "the Smiths' house").
If you are indicating possession (Achilles' heal) use an apostrophe at the end of the word. If you are simply stating his name, there is no apostrophe.
No, unless your name has an apostrophe in it or you are using it in the possessive.
When it belongs to another person
Yes if a possession and name of the person are in the same sentence
Yes, you do because the apostrophe, in this case, shows belonging. The name belongs to your mom.
my nuts
You can use an apostrophe when contracting "is" with a person's last name to indicate possession or a contraction of "is." For example, "Sarah's here" (indicating possession) or "Johnson's coming over" (contracting "is").
