Showing Possession

Apostrophes can be used to show that something belongs to someone or


something. This is called possession.

When we are talking about one


thing we call this singular.

For example, a man or a bike.

When we need to say that something belongs to something singular, we put an


apostrophe and then an ‘s’ at the end of the name that it belongs to.
Showing Possession

was a deer.
