Apostrophes show possession. for e.g. 1. Ram's cat got missing - here cat belongs to ram that's why we used Ram's. 2. This is my brother's house- Here house belongs to my brother that's why brother's. Contact me in case of any doubts.

Well spoken person with an intent to excel in whatever I teach

An apostrophe is used to show possession...for example, a boy's room. This means that you're describing the room which belongs to a boy. Similarly, when used after a word, it depicts plural possession. Eg: boys' night out

apostrophe or ('s) is used for possessives. When you tell about some one's possession or something that belongs to him/her we use apostrophe. For example: This is Surinder's book.
