DEFINITION: AN APOSTROPHE LOOKS LIKE A COMA BUT IT IS RAISED OFF THE LINE OF WRITING.
THEY CAN BE USED TO SHOW POSSESSION ON WHERE A WORD OR WORDS HAVE BEEN SHORTENED.

Modelacion
Pronouns: We use apostrophes for contraction:

Ownership: We use apostrophes to indicate ownership or possession.

ACCIÓN
6. We don’t want to go now.
Forming Plural: We don’t use apostrophes to form plurals.
Apostrophes and Plural Nouns:
1. Add only the apostrophe to form the possessive of a plural noun that ends in “s”.May I take your friends’ book?
Friends= plural of friend. Plural possessive Noun.
2. Add the apostrophe and “s” to form the possessive of a plural noun that does not end in “s”. These are children’s book. Children= Plural possessive Noun.
Misuse of Apostrophes
Never use the apostrophe after a plural noun that does not show possession.There are many car’s in the parking lot. (wrong).
There are many cars in the parking lot.
Never use apostrophe with possessive pronouns- Its, hers, his, yours, ours, and theirs.They do not require an apostrophe because they already have shown possession.
