Apostrophes are used to form the possessive form of a singular noun or a plural noun . In other words, an apostrophe is used to show ownership of a object or idea. For example: Those are Sarah's shoes. An apostrophe is also used to omit, or replace, a letter in a contraction. For example, in the word "isn't", the apostrophe is replacing the "o" in the word not. Isn't is the contraction of the words "is not"

No Truth just DARE: Read the following excerpt... while doing a plank... with one hand.. if you touch the floor, the opp gets your points.
"In the freezing ocean waters of Antarctica, the planet’s largest seals make their home in a frozen world. These giants are southern elephant seals, and they can grow as long as the length of a car and weigh as much as two cars combined. The name “elephant seal” comes from both the males’ enormous size and from their giant trunk-like nose, called a proboscis. Females do not have a proboscis, and they are much smaller. A thick layer of blubber keeps southern elephant seals warm in their icy habitat. The seals are clumsy on land, but in water they’re graceful swimmers and incredible divers. They can easily dive 1,000 to 4,000 feet to hunt for squid, octopus, and various kinds of fish. Elephant seals are able to stay underwater for 20 minutes or more. The longest underwater session researchers observed was an amazing two hours! When they return to the surface to breathe, it’s only for a few minutes. Then they dive again. "

DARE: Read the text while doing a push up for each sentence. If you fail.. the opp gets your points.
"What Australian mammal can leap 25 feet in one hop and move for short periods at 35 miles an hour? The red kangaroo. A full-grown male stands as tall as a 6-foot-tall person and weighs 200 pounds. This is slightly bigger than the grey kangaroo, making it the world’s largest marsupial. What’s a marsupial? It’s a mammal where the mother has a pouch for carrying, feeding, and protecting her young. While a red kangaroo may be the largest marsupial, the newborn baby is tiny, under an inch long. After a few months of sleeping, nursing, and growing in mom’s stomach pouch, the young kangaroo (joey) begins to come out. But it hurries back to the pouch fast when frightened, hungry, or cold. Eventually, the joey gets so big it hangs out of the pouch. Then, at eight months old, it stays out. But the joey remains close to mom until ready to live on its own. Red kangaroos are good swimmers. However, they are best known for their hopping abilities. Their long, powerful hind legs have big feet. Hopping moves them quickly over their grassy, shrubby, and desert habitats. Meanwhile, a thick tail helps them balance and steer."
