Apostrophes show possession. for e.g. 1. Ram's cat got missing - here cat belongs to ram that's why we used Ram's. 2. This is my brother's house- Here house belongs to my brother that's why brother's. Contact me in case of any doubts.

Use the apostrophe to show possession. To show possession with a singular noun, add an apostrophe plus the letter s. Examples: a woman's hat the boss's wife Mrs. Chang's house

apostrophe or ('s) is used for possessives. When you tell about some one's possession or something that belongs to him/her we use apostrophe. For example: This is Surinder's book.
