    The following are the rules of using the Apostrophe (s) :

    Apostrophe (s) is used at the back of person name or animal. Owned objects are placed at the back of the apostrophe (s).
    Examples :

    Irmas father is a teacher

    My mothers hair is curly.

    Look! That is the rabbits fur.

    If in one sentence there are two same objects owned by different owner, the same objects can only written once. Examples : Andis car is more expensive than Kardis.

    My hair is straight but my fathers is curly.

    Andrews house is bigger than his sisters.
