*Source: [How To Use An Apostrophe - The Oatmeal](https://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe)*
|

|
|
||
|
**Is it plural?**
|
||
|
*Plural means more than one.*
|
||
|
For example: I saw two **kittens** riding a goat. **Goats** are great for transportation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
***Don't*** use an apostrophe.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Two exceptions:
|
||
|
1. Is it a single letter word? For example:
|
||
|
- **There are two t's in "kittens."**
|
||
|
Then it's okay, but you can also do this:
|
||
|
- **There are two "t"s in "kittens."**
|
||
|
2. Is it a number or abbreviation? For example:
|
||
|
- **90's fashion was a bit awkward. Just say no to hammer pants.**
|
||
|
Then do this:
|
||
|
- **I attended college in the late '90s and early 2000s.**
