The
Apostrophe
A
triple-layer pastry so light that you'll think that the only thing missing
is your sccond piece.
The
apostrophe indicates:
If
the word does not end in -s, add an 's to the form to show possession:
Laura's hat
If
the word already ends in -s, simply add the apostrophe to the end of the
word:
workers'
tools.
(The
apostrophe shows that the tools belong to the workers).
-
The
plural form of letters and numbers:
I'm
going to catch some Z's.
Trying
, my little sister shredded all the 6's from the deck of cards.

Omitted
letters: can not = can't could not = couldn't
