What is an "apostrophe"?
An apostrophe (') is a punctuation mark used in writing to indicate possession or the omission of letters in contractions. In possessive forms, it shows ownership, as in "the dog's leash," which indicates that the leash belongs to the dog. In contractions, the apostrophe replaces missing letters, such as in "do not" becoming "don't." Apostrophes are also used in some plurals of letters or symbols, like "mind your p's and q's." While helpful for clarity, it is important to use apostrophes correctly to avoid confusion in writing.
