Can anyone tell me what the difference of the 3 words are? And the proper use of each.
Consider these examples.
one student
100 students
The new student's name is Mary.
Do you need more explanation?
Clive
What is the difference?
Students' is the possessive form of the plural noun students:
- The new students' names are Mary and Ellen.
Can I add apostrphies to the following letter?
Betsy remembered the giraffe's, zebra's and impala's. They were in her African books.
No. To make a plural, just add s.
