Key learning points

- An apostrophe can show if a noun belongs to another singular noun.
- Apostrophes for singular possession are useful to make our writing clear.
- An apostrophe sits at the same height as the ascender of a letter.
Keywords
Apostrophe - a punctuation mark used to show if a noun belongs to another singular noun
Possession - something that is owned or possessed
Common misconception
Pupils may think that apostrophes for possession are only used for physical nouns.
Teach pupils that nouns such as skills or senses can also be possessed, or owned. E.g. a bat's eyesight.
