Closed 6 years ago In this sentence should I use Apostrophe as s's or s'? I am always confused with what exactly the rule behind s' and s's The sentence is: Hours later Fadnavis's resignation, the the NCP-Congress leaders combined met Governor and staked claim to form the Government Fadnavis is the name of the Chief Minister (for your
- (s) or s at the end of a word to denote one or many
I like to use less- greater- than brackets, "<s>", which is more similar to parentheses than separation with a forward-slash, and has added benefit of making easier to parse with more clear distinction in cases of more different pluralizations than required by simply adding an ‘s’ or ‘es’ (e g also eliminating something, like ‘-us’ to ‘-i’)
- Apostrophes and s’s - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
“It’s” only has an apostrophe when it’s a contraction of “it is”, and the apostrophe indicates a letter missed out, in much the same way as “don’t” for “do not” or “you’re” for “you are” When it is a pronoun you want to make a possessive pronoun, remember the rule that possessive pronouns don’t have an apostrophe
- pronunciation - Whats the rule for pronouncing “’s” as z or s . . .
The word ending spelled apostrophe "s" is a phonemic z in all the instances I can think of (But English spelling is not very regular, so there could be exceptions ) However, English has a morphophonemic rule that converts a voiced obstruent (e g z ) to the corresponding voiceless phoneme (for z that would be s ) when the z is immediately preceded by a voiceless obstruent phoneme The
- Was the rule around apostrophe after s different before?
So when the word already ends in s because it's plural, we add just an apostrophe, but when the terminal s is not indicating a plural, we add an apostrophe and an s For some reason, some people say that "Jesus" should be an exception to that rule The rules for voicing are also complicated
- Joness or Jones? - English Language Usage Stack Exchange

- Number agreement when using “ (s)” for optional plural
A term ending in “ (s)” is both plural and singular If you must use such a device (and it can be a useful shorthand), you have to be prepared to adjust the surrounding context as necessary: for example, “the award (s) is (are) accounted for ” A parenthetical plural verb must correspond to the parenthetical ending
- verbs - Can was be abbreviated as s? - English Language Usage . . .
The apostrophe + s is usually understood to mean a shortened form of is or has It would not be understood to represent a different tense of be She's at home yesterday would be read as She is at home yesterday which is incorrect (of course, the apostrophe can shorten other words as well, such as have, but that is not relevant to your question Thank you, @bib
- It isnt vs. its not - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
The biggest difference between the two is how many syllables it takes to say them: It*is*n't vs Its*not This obviously matters a whole lot for rhythm and rhyme Sometimes (though rarely) it is worth avoiding the harsh 's' sound from it's not due to microphones' tendency to accentuate the sssss But in terms of meaning there is no significant difference Using "it is not" would sound a tad more
- Is therere (similar to theres) a correct contraction?
It is rendered that way in speech, but it's an elision -- there are two distinct r sounds, the a has become a schwa, and only the glottal stop is missing You might want to emphasize that elision when writing dialogue (to make sure that the reader's inner voice hears the pattern) but there's nothing actually left out to record as such
