APOSTROPHESApostrophes can be confusing. You use 'S when it is a singular item/person owning an item/items; while S' is used when it is a plural item/person owning an item/items. Watch out for words whose plural is irregular, like children. Then the plural is'S. Good luck with the following. The word in parentheses is the one that needs the appopriate apostrophe. You may also have to make the word plural first. Each is worth .25 X 12= 3 bonus points
