grade 4 apostrophe quiz

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔑 Apostrophes show possession (belonging). Example: The dog's bone.
• 📝 Apostrophes create contractions (shortened words). Example: I am becomes I'm.
• ⚠️ Be careful! Apostrophes don't usually make words plural (except for some letters).
• ✨ 'Its' shows possession. 'It's' means 'it is'. This is a common mistake!
• ✏️ When something belongs to more than one person or thing, it's plural possessive. Example: The students' desks.
