What are apotrophes?

Answer 1

An apostrophe is a punctuation mark used to indicate possession or the omission of letters in contractions. For example, in the word "John's book," the apostrophe shows that the book belongs to John. In contractions, such as "don't" for "do not," the apostrophe replaces the omitted letters. Apostrophes are also used in pluralizing certain letters or symbols, but this usage is less common.
