In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions.

Answer:what kinda middle school work is this bro anyways hope this helps

Explanation:

In very specific situations, the apostrophe is used to replace missing letters in contractions, to show the possessive form of some nouns, and to make the plural of some words. 1. To indicate missing letters in words or missing numbers in a year, use an apostrophe in a contraction.

2. Use an apostrophe in the possessive form of a noun to indicate ownership. To show ownership, add apostrophe + s to the end of a word, with one exception: To show ownership with a plural noun already ending in s add only the apostrophe.

In quite certain circumstances, the apostrophe  is utilized to supplant missing letters in constrictions, to show the possessive type of certain things, and to make the plural of certain words.

Uses of apostrophe are:

The basic guideline is that the possessive of a solitary thing is shaped by adding a punctuation apostrophe and s, whether or not the particular thing closes in s.

The possessive of a plural thing is framed by adding just a punctuation when the thing closes in s, and by adding both a punctuation and s when it closes in a letter other than s.
