Answer 1

Phrases with apostrophe ('s) are as follows:

1. doll of a girl = girl's doll

2. belt belonging to a man = man's belt

3. toys belonging to kids = kids' toys

4. house of man​ = man's house

Apostrophe ('s):

• In languages that utilize the Latin alphabet and some other alphabets, the apostrophe serves as a punctuation mark and occasionally a diacritical mark.
• The apostrophe has two main functions in English:
• the indication that one or more letters have been omitted, such as the abbreviation "do not" becoming "don't".
• Apostrophes are a type of punctuation that are used to signify possession or to form contractions.
• The apostrophe is used to signify letter omission, produce possessive nouns, and indicate the plural of letters, numbers, and symbols.
• Avoid using apostrophes to create possessive pronouns (such as his or her computer) or non-possessive noun plurals.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. girl's doll
2. man's belt
3. kids' toys
4. man's house

Explanation:

What are apostrophe's ?

• Apostrophe is used to a belonging or possession. It is also used to omit a word or reduce usage or words.
• For all singular words "s" is added along with the apostrophe.
• When the word is a plural not ending with an "s" an "s" is added.
• When the word is a plural and ends with an "s", then the apostrophe is added after the "s".

In this case,

1. This is representing possession and singular word thus "s" is added after apostrophe. The doll belongs to the girl, hence - Girl's doll.

2. This is also a case of possession and a singular word so "s" is added after apostrophe. The belt belongs to the man.

3. Case of possession with plural ending with s, hence the apostrophe will be added after "s". Toys belong to the kids.

4. Case of possession with singular hence "s" after apostrophe. House belongs tot he man.
