The possessive of most singular nouns is formed by adding an apostrophe and an “s.” The possessive of plural nouns (except for a few irregular plurals that do not end in “s”) is formed by adding an apostrophe only. Examples: the horse's mouth, a bass’s stripes, puppies' paws, children's literature.





Use of Dashes

Submitted by Susan Titus Osborn on April 17, 2013 - 3:46pm

The em dash, often just called the dash, is the most commonly used of the dashes. To avoid confusion, no sentence should contain more than two dashes. A pair of em dashes sets off an amplifying or explanatory element. Commas, parentheses, or a colon may perform a similar function, but em dashes are often used for emphasis. Be careful not to overuse them though.
