Cách sử dụng
An apostrophe is a punctuation mark that is used to show where letters are missing or to show possession. It can be used to shorten words, like "don't" instead of "do not" and it can also show that something belongs to someone, like "John's book" meaning the book belonging to John. When you see an apostrophe, make sure to check if it’s showing missing letters or possession.
