Apostrophes
506h
Apostrophes are used for three main purposes: to mark letters that have been
omitted in contracted forms; to mark possessive forms of nouns and pronouns;
and to mark special plurals.
Common contractions include:
it’s = it is
where’s = where is, where has
I’d = I would/had
what’s = what is, what has
can’t = cannot
how’s = how is, how has
who’s = who is, who has
Apostrophes with nouns are used before and after the possessive -s ending. The
main rules are:
1 For a singular noun, use ’s:
the cat: The cat’s milk is in the fridge.
the student: The student’s views are most important.
Laura: Laura’s brothers are all younger than her.
year: This year’s fashion show is in Turin.
