Apostrophes What is an apostrophe? An apostrophe is a punctuation mark that primarily serves to indicate either grammatical possession or the contraction of two words. It can also sometimes be used to pluralize irregular nouns, such as single letters, abbreviations, and single-digit numbers. (Note: An apostrophe looks the same as a single end quotation mark ( ’ ), so care must be used not to confuse the two.) Forming contractions When two words are combined to form a contraction, we use an apostrophe as a substitute for the letter or...
