The Apostrophe Agency
Meet Detective Mo, a mole with a giant magnifying glass. Mo solves one kind of case. Who owns what? Tiny marks called apostrophes are Mo's best clues. Let's crack some cases together!
Mo's owner chart
Mo asks one question. How many owners? One owner gets apostrophe S. Many owners ending in S get just the apostrophe. Plurals like children or mice, with no S at the end, get apostrophe S.

The hat belongs to one dog. One owner, so write dog, apostrophe, S. The dog's hat. Now the bowl belongs to two dogs. Dogs already ends in S, so just add the apostrophe. The dogs' bowl. Plain dogs, with no mark, owns nothing.
