The apostrophe ( ’ or ' ) is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritical mark, in languages that use the Latin alphabet or certain other alphabets. In English, it serves three purposes:
The marking of the omission of one or more letters (as in the contraction of do not to don't).
The marking of possessive case (as in the eagle's feathers, or in one month's time).
The marking by some as plural of written items that are not words established in English orthography (as in P's and Q's). (This is considered incorrect by others; see Use in forming certain plurals. The use of the apostrophe to form plurals of proper words, as in apple's, banana's, etc., is universally considered incorrect.)
Apostrophe comes ultimately from Greekἡ ἀπόστροφος [προσῳδία] (hē apóstrophos [prosōidía], "[the accent of] 'turning away', or elision"), through Latin and French.
The apostrophe looks the same as a closing single quotation mark, although they have different meanings. The apostrophe also looks similar to, but is not the same as, the prime symbol (′), which is used to indicate measurement in feet or arcminutes, as well as for various mathematical purposes, and the ʻokina (ʻ), which represents a glottal stop in Polynesian languages. Such incorrect substitutes as ´ (acute) and ` (grave) are common in unprofessional texts, where an ambiguous treatment of the apostrophe in digital typesetting (as explained below) is a major factor of this confusion.

Intro:
Apostrophes: possess!
Apostrophes: omit!
Chorus:
This is my philosophy about apostrophes,
And the two ways to use them properly.
You can possess or omit.
But whatever you choose you’ve got to own it!
Verse:
Hey! What does omission mean?
And how does it connect to an apostrophe?
I’ll explain!
If you want to change two or more words into one,
You’ve got to take out some letters.
Now you’re doing great, but the mission isn’t finished until you replaced…
…What you’ve erased with an apostrophe filing that space.
You’ve made a new word and contraction’s its name!
Example:
You are a star!
Becomes:
You’re a star!’
Example 2:
I am your teacher.
Becomes:
I’m your teacher.
Get it?
Okay!
Verse 2:
Let’s continue this lesson
The next thing we are learning about is possession.
Hold up!
Can you tell me what that means please?
It means…
When you possess something, that means you own it.
And now that you’ve claimed it, you’ve got to show it!
Go again!
When you possess something, that means you own it.
And now that you’ve claimed it, you’ve got to show it!
Stop! Freeze! 3…2…1…GO!
Now mark your apostrophe after the owner, or owners,
To show your reader what they’re owning.
Example: MC Grammar’s voice teaching English will always be the kids’ choice!
Example 2: MC Grammar’s crew – will forever be the people’s favourite.
You know it’s true!
That was commentary. Yeah, there’s no stopping me!
Here comes the chorus.
Sing along with me!

*Lyrics* 🎵
Intro:
Apostrophes: possess!
Apostrophes: omit!
Chorus:
This is my philosophy about apostrophes,
And the two ways to use them properly.
You can possess or omit.
But whatever you choose you’ve got to own it!
Verse:
Hey! What does omission mean?
And how does it connect to an apostrophe?
I’ll explain!
If you want to change two or more words into one,
You’ve got to take out some letters.
Now you’re doing great, but the mission isn’t finished until you replaced…
…What you’ve erased with an apostrophe filing that space.
You’ve made a new word and contraction’s its name!
Example:
You are a star!
Becomes:
You’re a star!’
Example 2:
I am your teacher.
Becomes:
I’m your teacher.
Get it?
Okay!
Verse 2:
Let’s continue this lesson
The next thing we are learning about is possession.
Hold up!
Can you tell me what that means please?
It means…
When you possess something, that means you own it.
And now that you’ve claimed it, you’ve got to show it!
Go again!
When you possess something, that means you own it.
And now that you’ve claimed it, you’ve got to show it!
Stop! Freeze! 3…2…1…GO!
Now mark your apostrophe after the owner, or owners,
To show your reader what they’re owning.
Example: MC Grammar’s voice teaching English will always be the kids’ choice!
Example 2: MC Grammar’s crew – will forever be the people’s favourite.
You know it’s true!
That was commentary. Yeah, there’s no stopping me!
Here comes the chorus.
Sing along with me!
Chorus:
This is my philosophy about apostrophes,
And the two ways to use them properly.
You can possess or omit.
But whatever you choose you’ve got to own it!
This is my philosophy about apostrophes,
And the two ways to use them properly.
You can possess or omit.
But whatever you choose you’ve got to own it!

#sparkleenglish #englishgrammar #apostropherules
The apostrophe ( ’ or ' ) is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritical mark, in languages that use the Latin alphabet or certain other alphabets. In English, it serves three purposes:
The marking of the omission of one or more letters (as in the contraction of do not to don't).
The marking of possessive case (as in the eagle's feathers, or in one month's time).
The marking by some as plural of written items that are not words established in English orthography (as in P's and Q's). (This is considered incorrect by others; see Use in forming certain plurals. The use of the apostrophe to form plurals of proper words, as in apple's, banana's, etc., is universally considered incorrect.)
Apostrophe comes ultimately from Greekἡ ἀπόστροφος [προσῳδία] (hē apóstrophos [prosōidía], "[the accent of] 'turning away', or elision"), through Latin and French.
The apostrophe looks the same as a closing single quotation mark, although they have different meanings. The apostrophe also looks similar to, but is not the same as, the prime symbol (′), which is used to indicate measurement in feet or arcminutes, as well as for various mathematical purposes, and the ʻokina (ʻ), which represents a glottal stop in Polynesian languages. Such incorrect substitutes as ´ (acute) and ` (grave) are common in unprofessional texts, where an ambiguous treatment of the apostrophe in digital typesetting (as explained below) is a major factor of this confusion.
