What can 's' mean at the end of a word?


1. Using 's' on the end of a word makes it plural (meaning more than one)

2. 's' is added to a present tense verb (a doing word) after 3rd person he, she, it or after the name of a person or thing.

e.g. he tells, Tom runs, a tap drips.

3. Use 's' after an apostrophe to show possession.

e.g. the dog's bone, my Dad's hat.
