Apostrophes and Ellipses

Possessive words - his, her, our - or possessive forms - John's, doctor's, - are used to show that some thing 'belongs' to someone or something eg

John's sister -- the sister 'belongs to John

The doctor's car -- the car belongs to the doctor.

Our cat -- the cat belongs to us

Figurative expressions are things like metaphors and similes. The expression "as lonely as a cloud" would be a simile while "my crying soul" would be a metaphor. (waylink-english)

"O Fortune, Fortune! all men call thee fickle; if thou art fickle, what dost thou with him that is renown'd for faith? Be fickle, Fortune; for then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long, but send him back." (Act III, Scene v, Lines 60-64)

This example of apostrophe is Juliet asking that Romeo's return not rely on luck, but rather that he come come soon.

that's why he's asking because he doesn't want to be an idiot anymore LOL.. anyway don't take it serious, I'm just kidding (if it sounds like I'm not, I'm sorry).. anyway, it's not a heart monitor, it's what you call electrocardiogram or simply ECG..

Eletricial signals somethin somethin. They use it since eletrical forces makes the heart pump so that have to use to machine to revive the heart to pump again and... LIVE (TRUST POINTS)

An appeal. That is a play on the word sentence meaning a sentence given to a criminal.

The singular possessive form for stockholder is stockholder's.

There are a lot of blink-182 video's with female characters. To name a few: always, i miss you, feeling this, josie. So it really depends on which video you are referring to.

However, Alyssa Milano is the girl in 'Josie'. Sophie Monk is the girl in 'Always'. I believe this will answer your question.

A woman is featured in whats my age again and is also featured on their album emma of the state this is porn star Janine Lindemulder

Polish immigrants that arrived to the US didn't face any obstacles such as racism, because all of the Polish immigrants were wealthy and just looking for more wealth

Washington, Madison, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, and Hamilton

Women, throughout history and into present day, have always been erroneously treated as subservient and inferior to men.

"New Year's Eve".

It is the eve of the New Year, so New Year is in the genetive (possessive) case, thus: New Year's.

Boys have a way of noticing a girl first by their looks. Boys will give a second look to attractive, well-dressed girls. But boys also notice personality. They like girls who are smart, funny, friendly and self-confident. If you want a boy to notice you, dress your best, take care of yourself and be a friendly, fun person.

Yes.

It actually depends on what you are trying to say. If you are referring to something that belongs to a mother, as in, for example, "My mother's car is green", then mother would have an apostrophe in it. However, if you are referring to more than one mother, for example "There are a lot of mothers at the game", then mothers will not have an apostrophe in it. But if you want to talk about something that belongs to more than one mother, for example "All the mothers' cars are green", it would get an apostrophe at the end of mothers.

Yes. It should be St. Patrick's Day.

If he confessed then I guess he loves you more than the other woman and thus ended it for your sake or maybe he doesn't want to pay alimoney. Either way since he broke your trust for 4 years, then its best you be a little carefull and I doubt he'll blame you for it. So hire a private detective Or bug him (as in put a tracing unit in his car or jacket) like in Veronica Mars:) but then you'll be constantly monitoring his movements (with no time to do the things you want to do). So either trust him and play the part of the loving wife who wouldn't question his loyalty or hire a private detective or you bug him. This is strictly my own opinion, but, I'd leave the relationship. Your husband had a 4-year relationship behind your back and I doubt he came clean with you on his own. Marriage is suppose to be about honesty, loyalty and trust and he's broken all those vows. Why waste time worrying and tracking down your husband; sit him down and tell him it's over and you at least want a separation. Perhaps that will give both of you time to think things over and if he doesn't realize he's in love with you then file for divorce. I was married before to a husband that cheated more than once and I filed for divorce immediately, but we owned no property together and there were no children involved.

Yes they can. If you have a baby they can decide everything that does not concern the baby.

# If no executor was named in the will, then a person may petition the court to be appointed as such. Contact the clerk of the probate court in the city or county where the deceased lived and/or owned property. Answer 2: If no executor was named in the will, then the will is technically not a will. If the executor pre-deceased the testator then the main beneficiary of the will can prove the will. And yes this could be a son or any relative of the deceased.

It all depends on what you're referring to. It can have an apostrophe, but it doesn't have to. And to further complicate the matter, the apostrophe can be before the final s, or after! Again, it all depends on what you're referring to.

Because the word valentine has a legitimate meaning of "sweetheart", then if you're writing about all the sweethearts in the world, then you would say, "all the valentines in the world" (no apostrophe). [By the way, the word valentine can also refer to a card received, and therefore you might say you received 25 valentines, (plural but no apostrophe), meaning you received 25 cards. In this case, it would be redundant to say you received 25 valentines (noun) cards (noun). But in that case, you might describe the cards as being of the valentine type, so you might say you received 25 valentine (adjective) cards (noun).]

If you're writing about your one and only sweetheart, then you would say, "your valentine" (no s, and no apostrophe). And if you wanted to make a day to celebrate your valentine, you would call it your valentine's day (apostrophe before the s). But keep in mind, that day would belong only to ONE (singular) valentine. So whenever you see the term Valentine's Day, know that it is referring to one and only one Valentine--not both Mr. Valentine AND your valentine. [This is why St. Patrick's Day is never spelled St. Patricks' Day--because the word "Patrick" does not refer to a sweetheart or a card; hence, the day can only refer to the man, Mr. Patrick.]

If you wanted to make a day that belonged to all other sweethearts in the world (plural possessive), then you would call it Valentines' Day (begin with the plural word valentines, and then add the apostrophe to show possession to the plural word). [That's why the day to celebrate all the mothers is spelled "Mothers' Day", not "Mother's Day." But if you had a special day set aside just for your own mother, then by all means, call it Mother's Day.]

Now your question asked about the term valentines, not the holiday in February. As far as the holiday, IF you are celebrating the man Mr. Valentine, and NOTHING MORE, than you must spell it "Valentine's Day." And to be even clearer, you should specify that it is "St. Valentine's Day." But IF you and your friends are having a celebration for each of your valentines, then you need to call it "Valentines' Day." [And that can even include St. Valentine, too.]

The rules for the apostrophe are straightforward and clear. Decide whether or not your initial term should be singular or plural. Then place the apostrophe. The confusion comes in because some words are singular and end in an s (like Moses), while some words are plural and don't end in an s (like oxen or children).

Now that you know the rules, what about Columbus Day? The question we need to ask is, "Does the holiday belong to Columbus?" If it's his day, then we need to add the apostrophe like this: "Columbus' Day." But if the holiday is simply a day in honor of him (no possession, just a memorial), then it can be called "Columbus Day", which is just a day that's been nicknamed "Columbus Day," no different than the day nicknamed "Labor Day", or "Boxing Day," or "Martin Luther King Day" or "Happy Day." You only add the apostrophe to indicate POSSESSION (or for a contraction, as in the word "it's.")

And one last comment. When you pronounce a word that ends in an s with an apostrophe after the s, like "Valentines' Day," please do everyone a favor and do NOT pronounce an additional syllable for the apostrophe! It's not pronounced "Valentineses" (4 syllables)! The only time you would pronounce a double s like that would be if the word ended in an s sound without using the letter s, like "Jace." If it were "Jace's Day," then you would pronounce it "Jaces" (2 syllables).
