Let's check we understand:
Contractions
You can use apostrophes to show that you have omitted (left out) some letters when you are joining words together.
Example
You can join the words ‘you’ and ‘are’ together:
The apostrophe takes the place of the removed letters. In this example, the letter 'a'.
Sometimes, you will need to rearrange the letters a bit when you contract the words.
Example
Using contractions like these makes your writing easier to read and more informal.
How to use a possessive apostrophe
An apostrophe can be used to show that one thing belongs to (or is connected to) something. This is called a possessive apostrophe .
Take a look at some examples
Singular possession - when something belongs to only one person/thing.
Example - The cat's tail was fluffy.
Cat is a singular noun so you need to add an apostrophe and 's' to show that the tail belongs to the cat.
Example - Charles' cat was naughty.
Charles is a singular noun that ends in an 's', so you only need to add an apostrophe to show that the cat belongs to Charles.
Plural possession - when something belongs to more than one person/thing.
Example - The brothers' feet were muddy.
Brothers is a plural noun that ends in an 's', so you don't add another 's' after your apostrophe. You can just add an apostrophe to show the feet belong to the brothers.
Example - The children's toys were broken.
Children is a plural noun but it doesn't end with an 's' so you need to add an apostrophe and 's' to show that the toys belong to the children.
