Answer:

The apostrophe

The apostrophe probably causes more grief than all of the other punctuation marks put together! The problem nearly always seems to stem from not understanding that the apostrophe has two very different (and very important) uses in English: possession and contractions.

The apostrophe in contractions

The most common use of apostrophes in English is for contractions, where a noun or pronoun and a verb combine. Remember that the apostrophe is often replacing a letter that has been dropped. It is placed where the missing letter would be in that case.

Examples

It's a nice day outside. (contraction)

The cat is dirty. Its fur is matted. (possession)

You're not supposed to be here. (contraction)

This is your book. (possession)

Who's at the door? (contraction)

Whose shoes are these? (possession)

They're not here yet. (contraction)

Their car is red. (possession)

His car is over there. (location)

The possessive apostrophe

In most cases you simply need to add 's to a noun to show possession

Examples

a ship's captain

a doctor's patient

a car's engine

Ibrahim's coat

Mirianna's book

Plural nouns that do not end in s also follow this rule:

Examples

the children's room

the men's work

the women's club

Ordinary (or common) nouns that end in s, both singular and plural, show possession simply by adding an apostrophe after the s.

Examples

the bus' wheel

the babies' crying

the ladies' tennis club

the teachers' journal

Proper nouns (names of people, cities, countries) that end in s can form the possessive either by adding the apostrophe + s or simply adding the apostrophe. Today both forms are considered correct (Jones's or Jones'), and many large organisations now drop the apostrophe completely (e.g. Barclays Bank, Missing Persons Bureau) when publishing their name.

Examples

The Hughes' home (or the Hughes's home)

Mr Jones's shop (or Mr Jones' shop)

Charles' book (or Charles's book)
