Apostrophes are used when shortening words. For example, 'I will not - I won't'. When we talk, we often use contractions, so it's also a good idea to learn how to write them properly.

Learn this contraction - it is often written wrongly. Cannot can also be written as can not, but cannot is better
|
Don't confuse 'theirs' with there's; 'theirs' is a possessive pronoun: 'This house is theirs'
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Haven't is 'have' and 'not' contracted. The sentence would make sense with the words separated or contracted, it depends on the type of writing you are doing. If this was a serious letter, then you should write the two words out separately and not contract.
|
The last sentence is wrong because you can only contract two words together, not three.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
If you forget to write the apostrophe you change the word 'I'll' into 'Ill', which will completely change the meaning of your sentence.
|
This would be correct because it is showing possession.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
This shows possession correctly.
|
This shows correct possession of the word truck.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
The -ha- is replaced by the apostrophe
|
The word is plural and showing possession with an apostrophe.
