Punctuation Challenge: Proper Apostrophe Usage!

Which sentence uses the apostrophe correctly? Multiple Choices: A) The students books were left in the classroom. B) The student's books were left in the classroom. C) The students' books was left in the classroom. D) The students book's were left in the classroom. Correct Answer: B) The student's books were left in the classroom. Explanation: "Student's books" (option B) is correct when referring to books belonging to one student because the apostrophe before the s shows singular possession. "Students books" (option A) is incorrect because it lacks an apostrophe, making "students" just a plural noun, not possessive. "Students' books" (option C) would be correct if referring to multiple students, but the verb "was" is incorrect; it should be "were" instead. "Students book's" (option D) is incorrect because the apostrophe is misused—"book's" should not have an apostrophe since "books" is plural, not possessive. Example Sentence: "The student's backpack was left in the library." (One student) "The students' backpacks were left in the library." (Multiple students) Educational Value: Understanding the correct use of apostrophes helps with possessive forms, pluralization, and grammar accuracy in writing. #englishgrammar #apostrophes #learnenglish #grammarquiz #languagelearning
