Today we explored apostrophes. We outlined how to use apostrophes to consolidate our writing and to save time. For example, instead of writing out the ball that belongs to the dog, we can use a apostrophe to show that the dog owns the ball in a much more efficient way: the dog's ball.
Remember to keep in mind whether you have a singular word or a plural when showing ownership.
Singular: dog's
Plural: dogs'.
We also used apostrophes with contractions. When combining two words into one, we use the apostrophe to show readers where we deleted letters: it is= it's. The ' replaced the i in is.
