  2. And welcome to this language.
  3. Listen on the apostrophe off position and mission on once
  4. gain. If you're following the calendar, you should be doing
  5. this. Listen, on the 10th of July 2020 let's start
  6. off with the apostrophe off position.
  7. Now, we've got a brief explanation for you here with
  8. a couple of examples.
  9. No, an apostrophe is also used with now NHS, remember
  10. now on is people places of things to indicate Position
  11. off something.
  12. Now, when you think of the apostrophe of possession, I
  13. want you to think off what it means to possess
  14. something possess something means to own something.
  15. So an apostrophe is often placed at the end of
  16. a word followed by the letter s.
  17. This occurs when there's only one person place or thing
  18. that demonstrates position.
  19. Okay. Ah, lot of the time.
  20. The thing that is possessed by the noun follows immediately
  21. after in the sentence.
  22. So they fold.
  23. The apostrophe of position is used to show ownership off
  24. something. And this is how we know that they're using
  25. the apostrophe of possession in a sentence.
  26. Let's take a look at that first example.
  27. Everyone hates going to the principal's office.
  28. You can see they they've used an apostrophe in the
  29. word principles.
  30. Okay, now, remember, what does the apostrophe of possession do?
  31. It shows ownership.
  32. So what belongs to this principle?
  33. The office.
  34. So a typical exam question would ask you to identify
  35. the punctuation mark, and it would ask you to explain
  36. its function So you would start by saying the apostrophe
  37. off position is being used to show that the office
  38. belongs to the principal.
  39. The second example.
  40. They My car's brakes have bean squeaking a lot.
  41. You can see there that they've used an apostrophe in
  42. the word cause.
  43. Okay, my car's brakes.
  44. Remember, apostrophe of position shows ownership.
  45. So what belongs to the car again?
  46. In the exam, you'll be asked to identified punctuation Mark
  47. and you'll be asked Teoh, explain its function.
  48. So you would say that the apostrophe off position is
  49. being used to show that the brakes being discussed, others
  50. belonging to the car.
  51. Okay, so it's pretty simple.
  52. Let's go through the last example.
  53. Denver's way there is dreadful this time of year again.
  54. Remember, you have to state what punctuation mark is being
  55. used, and you have to state its function.
  56. So the apostrophe off position is being used to show
  57. that the weather that is dreadful is specific to Denver
  58. or belongs to Dean Graham.
  59. Now we're just going to take a brief look at
  60. plural position, meaning when you are speaking about more than
  61. one thing 11 person place or thing that owns a
  62. specific thing.
  63. So if there is more than one person place or
  64. thing that possesses something else, then the rules change slightly.
  65. Remember previously you put the word, for example, in the
  66. example the car's brakes.
  67. You would have car and then apostrophe iss the car's
  68. brakes, however, right, because and this is usually added to
  69. a word to make a PLO rule, the S that
  70. follows the apostrophe is dropped.
  71. So let's say it was the causes breaks right?
  72. If it was more than one car and it was
  73. caused, you would add the apostrophe after the word cause.
  74. But you wouldn't add another ace because the word is
  75. already in plural.
  76. Okay, so, for example, our clients is reactions were fantastic.
  77. So in this example, you would say the apostrophe off
  78. position is being used to show that there was more
  79. than one client who had a reaction or that the
  80. reaction belonged to more than one client.
  81. Okay, the exception here is if someone's name ends in
  82. an ISS, right, you add the apostrophe and you add
  83. the after the apostrophe.
  84. The only time you don't add the s after the
  85. apostrophe is if the word is in plural and that
  86. is pretty much the apostrophe off position.
  87. So just remember, apostrophe of possession shows ownership of something
  88. you have to state or name the punctuation mark being
  89. used, which is, of course, the apostrophe of position.
  90. And you have to explain its function.
  91. Let's take a look at the apostrophe off a mission.
  92. We've got an explanation.
  93. Yeah. So an apostrophe of a mission is a punctuation
  94. mark used to indicate that letters are missing.
  95. Now, remember, apostrophe of possession to possess is to own
  96. something apostrophe off.
  97. Omission To omit something is to take away.
  98. So the apostrophe of a mission indicates that letters are
  99. missing the word or mission means to leave something out
  100. and apostrophe of permission can be used to show that
  101. laters are missing the apostrophe shows where the missing letters
  102. were so here, for example, when I am is shortened,
  103. the A is removed to make I'm.
  104. If you see there, they've replaced the litter A in
  105. the word in the words I am they replaced the
  106. letter A with the apostrophe to make it.
  107. I'm OK, but we've used the apostrophe of the mission
  108. as we have indicated that the later A is missing.
  109. So if we take a look at this example to
  110. public typical exam top question again, you'd have to name
  111. the punctuation mark being used and you'd have to explain
  112. its function.
  113. So in this one, you would say that the apostrophe
  114. off a mission is being used to show that the
  115. letter a in the word M has bean omitted or
  116. has bean replaced by the apostrophe?
  117. Okay, then, yeah, we have some examples of apostrophes off
  118. a mission.
  119. So can't is using the apostrophe of a mission to
  120. shorten the word cannot.
  121. So again, you'd say the apostrophe other mission is being
  122. used to take the place off the letter o in
  123. the word not to shorten the word that the words
  124. cannot to form the word cont.
  125. If we take a look at the next one don't
  126. is the shortened version of Do not the typical exam
  127. type answer.
  128. You'd say the apostrophe of a mission is being used
  129. to replace the letter or to take the place of
  130. the later, um O in the word not to form
  131. in our mission because it is very, very simple.
  132. You're welcome to pause the video and go through those
  133. on your own.
  134. Um, before we finish off, just remember, apostrophe of position
  135. shows ownership to possess something is toe own, something you
  136. have to state what punctuation mark is being used and
  137. you have to state its function.
  138. So you state That's the apostrophe of possession, and you
  139. state what belongs to what?
  140. Okay, The apostrophe of a mission.
  141. Remember to admit something is to leave something out again.
  142. You say?
  143. OK, the apostrophe of a mission is being used to
  144. show that a certain later has bean omitted and replaced
  145. by the apostrophe to shorten the word, and that is
  146. pretty much it great.
