Apostrophe S!

The evil evil punctuation!

What is it? In English sentences can get very

long sometimes. In order to save

time we use ’s at the end of some naming words.

It can be used to show that one of the other naming word in the sentence belongs to the first name.

This is called a ‘Possessive S’

For example
