How to use the apostrophe S in English.
Where do I put the apostrophe?
When do I put apostrophe S and when just an apostrophe?
In this English grammar lesson we look at when to use the apostrophe S and when to only use an apostrophe.
We start by looking at the three meanings of Apostrophe S at the end of a word. Then we start focusing on Possessive Nouns which is a word ending in apostrophe S which is then followed by a noun.
We look at the following rules:
✅ Singular nouns NOT ending in S
✅ Plural nouns ending in S
✅ Plural nouns that do not in S
✅ Singular nouns ending in S
✅ Names of people that end in S
✅ Apostrophes with two or more people
✅ No noun after apostrophe S
✅ Apostrophe S with periods of time
✅ Decades / Years - No apostrophe
✅ Plural forms of Acronyms
Apostrophe S is also know as the Genitive Case or Possessive Case.
It is important to learn these written English grammar rules if you are taking an International English exam such as IELTS or TOEFL.
