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.
