Play Mark Patrol →Prosecutor Apostrophe handles contractions (letter removal), possessives (singular, plural, compound, shared vs. separate possession).
Prosecutor Apostrophe teaches the same idea across every grade, starting simple and going deep. Here is the whole concept: what it does, the jobs and kinds it splits into, the mistakes to watch for, and a worked example for each.
Apostrophe works two cases. He marks who owns something: the dog's leash. And he stands in for missing letters in a contraction: do not becomes don't. The trap he prosecutes is the plural: dogs means more than one, dog's means the dog owns something. One little mark, two very different jobs.
Use an apostrophe to show where letters have been removed in contractions (two words combined into one).
- "I do not = I don't"
- "They will not = They won't"
- "It is = It's"
- Confusing 'it's' (it is) and 'its' (possessive)
- Missing apostrophe in common contractions
- Putting apostrophe in wrong position
Add an apostrophe and 's' to singular nouns to show that something belongs to them.
- "The cat's claws"
- "The doctor's office"
- "James's book"
- Using apostrophe with plural nouns that don't end in 's'
- Confusing possessive and plural forms
- Forgetting apostrophe with singular possessives
Add only an apostrophe (no 's') to plural nouns ending in 's' to show possession.
- "The students' rules"
- "The players' schools"
- "The scientists' main molecules"
- Adding 's' after apostrophe with plural nouns
- Using apostrophe with plural nouns incorrectly
- Inconsistent apostrophe placement
