apostrophes we all use them but we don't
all use them correctly an apostrophe s
is used to show possession not that type
of possession more like ownership of an
object for instance that's Sarah's gone
the apostrophe s indicates that the dog
belongs to Sarah without the apostrophe
Sarah's would become Sarah's the plural
of Sarah let me fix that
now suppose Sarah and her sister
Marjorie both had pets they would be the
sisters pets the apostrophe comes after
the S this is called plural possession
no not like that
plural possession is when more than one
subject possesses something the sister's
pets is an example of plural possession
her sister's pet is an example of
singular possession let's sum it up
Sarah's dog and Marjorie's cat are the
sisters pets possessive possessive
plural possessive plural goodwill
