the uses of apostrophe! yan ang topic namin sa office kanina habang naghihintay ng calls. based on definition, it is used to show possession. madali lang naman xang gamitin eh. example, pen of anne is also same as anne's pen... pero xiempre, gaya ng madaming rules sa english (sbi nga ni sheza, english is a living language! therefore, its complicated! hehehe). isa sa classic example nito ay ang usage ng apostrophe sa words ending in -s. there are 2 ways of using it, 1. just by putting apostrophe after the word ending in s (eg. tom woods' business) 2. using the common 's (eg. tom woods's business). according to dummies.com, both are acceptable. ang reason lng for using the second way is for those na nahihirapan ipronounce yun una. pero mas effort xa kasi you need to produce more saliva. hehehe.. :)
