Misplacing Apostrophes Rules: Apostrophes indicate something belongs to something or is owned by someone else To show something belongs to one person, place the apostrophes before the letter 's' Ex: Lucy's cat Confusing similar words and spellings The English language is fairly rich in terms sound similar, or are spelt similarly, but which have various meanings and need to be employed in different circumstances. It mostly happened to those who were learning a second language. ex: "Two", "too" and "to" "weather" and "whether" MIsplacing your modifiers
Without words to provide a little additional flavour to sentences and descriptive speech, language would be rather boring.In addition, mistakenly positioned modifiers may entirely alter the meaning of your statement in unexpected ways. ex misplaced : "He almost walked for the entire day" modifiers in correct order :"he walked for almost the entire day"
