2. Apostrof selepas s digunakan untuk menunjuk hak milik plural.

The children’s playground was spick and span.
3. ' is also used in contradiction.
Do not = don’t
Would not = wouldn’t
Has not = hasn't

Wouldn’t you love to go there?
Don’t talk loudly.
4. Its dan it’s
his,hers, its,theirs etc

Gunakan’s apabila hendak memendekkan it is.
