When to use 's or s' or just s?

's is possessive, so you would use it when somebody or something owns something. Ex: Sarah's food. The dog's foot. The boy's toys. The table's legs. s' is also possessive, but is used when more than one person or thing owns something. Ex: There were five dogs. All the dogs' toys were lost. s is used only when there is more than one of something. Ex: There were several cats outside. All the kids wanted to play with them.
