Possessive apostrophes

5:03

of course it

5:03

doesn't now why do they think this it's

5:06

because when it comes to singular nouns

5:08

and we're talking about possession we

5:10

need to use an apostrophe

5:12

for example this is Charlie's whiteboard

5:15

the girl's bike the president's suit and

5:20

then what people do is they incorrectly

5:22

apply this possessive apostrophe to the

5:25

third-person non gender-specific

5:27

possessive adjectives like this the

5:30

zebra hated its stripes but of course it

5:33

should be it's without the apostrophe

5:35

the same thing occurs as well we lose

5:38

people often put the apostrophe before

5:40

the S incorrectly it should be who's

5:43

like this has less girlfriends in Harry

5:52

it's true Charlie has less girlfriends

5:56

and Harry well that's an obvious one

5:58

isn't there Charlie has a less

6:00

girlfriends

6:06

no go ahead
