Answer 2

Apostrophe

 

The apostrophe ( ’ ) has three uses: contractions, plurals, and possessives.

 

Contractions

 

Contractions (e.g., let’s, don’t, couldn’t, it’s, she’s) have a bad reputation. Many argue that they have no place at all in formal writing. You should, of course, observe your publisher’s or instructor’s requirements. An absolute avoidance of contractions, however, is likely to make your writing appear stilted and unwelcoming.

 

If you are unsure where to insert the apostrophe when forming a contraction, consult a good dictionary. Avoid the most common contraction–apostrophe error: the contraction of it is is it’s;without the apostrophe, its is the possessive form of it.

 

Example: It’s often said that every dog has its day.

 

In informal writing, it is acceptable to indicate a year with only the last two digits preceded by an apostrophe (e.g., the class of ’85, pop music from the ’80s).
