Why in this sentence you use an apostrophe The Robinson's house is on spring street but our's is on Randolph Drive?
An apostrophe is used to show possession: the house belongs to the Robinsons; therefore, it is the Robinsons's house. Our house (or ours - no apostrophe) is on Randolph Drive. Randolph is the name of the drive; it doesn't belong to anybody in this sentence. Of course, the sentence should be:"The Robinsons' house is on Spring Street but ours is on Randolph Drive" as "ours" is a possessive but is an exception. Unfortunately the Wiki spell checker doesn't know the correct usage either. Sigh.
The Robinson's house is on Spring Street but ours' is on Randolph Drive is this sentence correct?
The possessive pronoun "ours" does not require an apostrophe because it is just that -- already possessive. The correct sentence would be, "The Robinson's house is on Spring Street, but ours is on Randolph Drive. ____ You would also move the apostrophe after the "s" in "Robinsons," since here you are referring to a group or family with the same last name rather than just one person with that name. The house belongs to the "Robinsons" rather than the "Robinson." The Robinsons' house is on Spring Street, but ours is on Randolph Drive.
