<span style="font-size: 120%; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Reflection: Today I learnt that when you write more than one number with an s on the end, you put an apostrophe after the s. Eg: There are lots of 3s' in the number 333,333,333. You can also do this with letters.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 19px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">In the word Brother’s, you would put the apostrophe before the s because it is referring to one person. But in the word Brothers’ you would put the apostrophe after the s because you are referring to more than one person.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">In the word Brother’s, you would put the apostrophe before the s because it is referring to one person. But in the word Brothers’ you would put the apostrophe after the s because you are referring to more than one person.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Eg: My two older brothers’ rock band. - The apostrophe is after the s because there are two brothers

Eg: I found the boy’s bicycle. - The apostrophe is before the s because there is one boy.

Reflection: Today I learnt that if an apostrophe is after the s, then it means that there is more than one person, and if the apostrophe is before the s, it means there is one person. Eg: I shook the lady's hand.
