How to

Using Apostrophes
The most common use of apostrophes is to show ownership:

Michael’s cat is black and white.

When a group of people ending in‘s’ are owning something, you must add an apostrophe after the‘s’, like so:

The teachers’ board pens have dried out.

Another important use of apostrophes is for the short forms of words. Here is an important list to learn showing these forms:

I’m- I am
I’d- I would
I’ve- I have
We’ll- We will
He’s- He is
Won’t- Will not
Can’t- Can not
They’re- They are
Who’s- Who is
Doesn’t- Does not
Here’s- Here is
We’re- We are

Finally, one of the biggest mistakes in English grammar and punctuation is the meaning and spelling of its and it’s.

It’s (as mentioned above) is short for It is or It has:

It’s fallen out of the tree.
It’s so nice that you two have learnt to get along.

Its, on the other hand, is used to show ownership:

The grey cat swished its fury tail.
