Using apostrophes in contractions and possessives | Grammar and Style Tidbits 8

Apostrophes are cute but not as easy to use as you think. They can be followed by S to show possession, but not always because it depends on where the words they are attached to. Apostrophes are also used in some plurals. Yes, mind-blowing. How can such a simple punctuation mark cause so much trouble, for goodness’ sake... oh... or is it “goodness sake?” Learn the rules for using apostrophes in formal English.

ABOUT THIS SERIES The Grammar and Style Tidbits series has short lessons on specific topics in standard English grammar, writing style, and the mechanics of writing. It often contrasts prescriptive and descriptive grammar use and usage. This way you know when it’s appropriate to use a construction in formal, written or spoken, academic English versus in informal, spoken, everyday English. The series is designed for enrichment but is appropriate for intermediate and advanced English-Language Learners, or ESL students, as well.
