What is the difference between plural and possessive?
• Plural: more than one of a noun (person, place, thing)
• Possessive: who “it” belongs to – shows possession
![Page 11: TARGET: I can use an apostrophe in a variety of situations](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e245503460f94b122e0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Apostrophe
• Shows omission: something has been taken out (a surgery)
– Allen’s book = The book of Allen– You’re funny. = You are funny.– It’s gone. = It is gone.
