Which sentence uses the apostrophe correctly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. The children's toys were on the floor.
- Step 1: 'Children' is already plural, so the possessive adds 's. Step 2. The plural 'toys' takes no apostrophe. Answer: The children's toys were on the floor. Why not the others: these misplace the apostrophes.
