In punctuation what does an ellipse look like?

Elipsis means omitted material is indicated by three spaced dots (as in ...).

Suppose you were quoting this passage: "During the war, manufactured goods, fresh produce, and luxury items were difficult to obtain."

But the subject you're writing about is manufacturing and distribution. You don't need the whole passage. So you can leave out part of it and put in an ellipsis (ellipsis points, which are three dots) to show where the omission occurred. Then you would quote it like this:

"During the war, manufactured goods . . . were difficult to obtain."

For a short passage, you probably wouldn't do this, but for a longer passage it might be necessary. You do have to be careful not to distort the meaning, though.

No.

Actually, consider that if you didn't get one (or any for that matter), you would still be required to file!

Are there word forms for tenderfoot?

I'm going to take a guess at this: Do you mean advancement forms, in Word format, for advancement to the rank of Tenderfoot in the Boy Scouts of America?

Officially, there isn't one. The tracking for rank from Scout to First Class is in the front part of your Scout Handbook -- Your Scoutmaster signs off on all those items.

You can download a lot of great information from meritbadge.org -- specifically, go to http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tenderfoot and you'll see all the Tenderfoot requirements.

Does an apostrophe come after the letter s?

That depends on what you would like to say. If the word is a plural possessive, the apostrophe goes after (e.g. girls'). Example sentence: That was the girls' ball. This means that the ball belongs to a group of girls, and not just to one girl. If the ball belongs to one girl only, it would be written: That was the girl's ball. If you intend to make a simple noun plural, the apostrophe is not used. Many people make the simple mistake of using apostrophe s to make simple nouns plural. This is notcorrect: Her cat's are out of control. The writer's intention is to say that the person has several cats (more than one) and that they are out of control. The sentence should be: Her cats are out of control. This is not correct: The cats paw's have extra claw's. The writer's intention is to write about one cat, not several. The paws are possessed by the cat, and the word cat's will convey that. The writer is talking about several paws, and several claws. The words paws and claws will convey that. The sentence should be: The cat's paws have extra claws.

Needed to form possessive nouns and contradictions?

Contradictions are not word forms; contradictions are a logical incompatibility between two or more propositions. Perhaps you meant the word form, contractions.

Contractions and possessive nouns use an apostrophe.

A contraction is a shortened version of the written and spoken words, made by replacing some of the letters with an apostrophe. Examples:

  • The words I am = I'm.
  • The words I will = I'll.
  • The words you are = you're.
  • the words you will = you'll.
  • the words could not = couldn't.
  • the words should not - shouldn't.

To form possessive nouns, an apostrophe s ('s) are added to the end of a word; for some words that already end with an s, just an apostrophe is added after the s at the end of the word. Examples:

  • The shoes of my mother = my mother'sshoes.
  • The leaves of the tree = the tree'sleaves.
  • The trunk of the elephant = the elephant'strunk.
  • The traffic of the city = the city'straffic.

Can an apostrophe be added to the word Phoenix?

No. You can, however, add an apostrophe -s: Phoenix's.

The best strategy of all is to add 'es', giving you "Phoenixes"

That's English

Adding apostrophe s indicates that something belongs to Phoenix. Apostrophes aren't used to create plurals.

In English, -es is added to words to create plurals, not possessives.
