An apostrophe functions as an indicator of ownership or contraction. In possessive forms, it links an owner to an item or idea, answering the question of ownership clearly. In contractions, it marks the exact spot where one or more letters disappeared during natural speech. Because plural nouns only indicate quantity, they do not require an apostrophe to make sense.
