Good lecture

We went to Sarah´s house. He didn´t visit Rome on his trip to Europe. We´re changing all the computer next year. It´s currently located in Asia. My parent´s information was incomplete.
### Singular Possession * **Parent's**: Used when showing possession by one parent. * "I need to pick up my **parent's** prescription." (The prescription belonging to one parent) * "We visited my **parent's** office yesterday." (The office belonging to one parent) ### Plural Possession * **Parents'**: Used when showing possession by multiple parents. * "The children are staying at their **parents'** house for the weekend." (The house belonging to both parents) * "We reviewed the **parents'** feedback on the school program." (The feedback from multiple parents)
En inglés, el uso del apóstrofe con "parents'" (o "parents") indica posesión. 1. **Parents'**: Se usa cuando el poseedor es plural. En este caso, "parents'" se utiliza para mostrar que algo pertenece a los padres en general. Por ejemplo: * "I met my friends at my parents' house." (Me encontré con mis amigos en la casa de mis padres.) 2. **Parent's**: Se usa cuando el poseedor es singular. En este caso, "parent's" indica posesión de un solo padre. Por ejemplo: * "I spoke to my parent's teacher." (Hablé con el profesor de mi padre o madre.)

In this class, we’ll learn about two main uses of apostrophes:

  • Possession: Use an apostrophe to show ownership.
    Example 1: “Manuel’s car” means the car belongs to Manuel.
    Example 2: “Students’ supplies” indicates supplies for multiple students, so the apostrophe comes after the “S” to show plural possession.
  • Contractions: Use an apostrophe to combine two words.
    Example 1: “You shouldn’t” combines “should not” with the apostrophe replacing the "O."
    Example 2: “They’re” combines “they” and “are” with the apostrophe replacing the “A.”
