    The document discusses the uses of apostrophes. Apostrophes are used to show possession, such as to indicate something belongs to someone or something like Ms. Copp's gift or the dog's fur. Apostrophes are also used in contractions to replace missing letters when two words are combined, such as wouldn't, he's, and isn't. The apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter in the contraction.
