PUNCTUATION AND SPELLING

By: Salma & Jagga

THE APOSTROPHE

In the singular (just one) the apostrophe comes

before the ‘s’ :

In the plural (more than one) the apostrophe goes

after the ‘s’ :

those ladies’ hats (the hats of those ladies)

Be careful, however, with plurals that do not end in

‘s’

HYPHENS

Hyphens are used when joining two or more words

to make another word:

These are used:

To begin sentences: They said they were leaving

For the first word in the speech: They said,

‘We’re leaving now.’
