  6. Welcome to a new week for Grammar Guides! This week is all about the humble apostrophes their main usages and the one of the most messed up set of words in the English language. Apostrophes are punctuation marks that are used in three primary ways: Contractions - uses an apostrophe to replace missing letters in combined words such as "They are" being replaced by "They're" To Show Possession - Uses an apostrophe to show ownership. ex: The cat's ball. The cats' balls. To make a plural in special circumstances. The most common is when we are making plurals of letters or numbers as: 2's, 3's, i's, and t's The Dreaded Its vs It's "It" and the apostrophe drive people bonkers. Because English. Unlike all other situations where 's shows possession, 's with it is a contraction. Its is the possessive form of it. Contraction: It's the butler! (quick check: it's is a stand in for "it is") Possession: A cat is its own master. (quick check: it is makes no sense here, so "its" it.) References: Kern, Jara. (2020).
