Today's Session Of #nowyouknowwithena : Misplaced Apostrophes !

An apostrophe is a punctuation mark that is used to indicate possession or to show the omission of one or more letters in a word. It is a small curved symbol ( ‘ ) that is placed above or below the letters it affects.

• Apostrophe + Contraction

A contraction is a combination of two words that have been shortened by combining them with an apostrophe. Common contractions include: “don’t,” “can’t,” and “won’t.” The apostrophe replaces the missing letters in the contraction and shows where the words have been shortened. For example,

☆ They're coming over for dinner.
( They are coming over for dinner. )

☆ Isn't it a beautiful day today?
( Is it not a beautiful day today? )

☆ Won't you join us for lunch?
( Will you not join us for lunch? )

• Apostrophe + Possession

A possession indicates that one thing belongs to another. To show singular possession, the apostrophe is placed before the “s”. For example, “the cat’s whiskers.” To show plural possession, the apostrophe is placed after the “s”. For example, “the cats’ whiskers.”

☆ The cat's whiskers were twitching.
( The whiskers belong to the cat. )
☆ The cats' whiskers were twitching.
( The whiskers belong to the catS. )

☆ The boy's hat was lost.
( The hat belongs to the boy. )
☆ The boys' hats were lost.
( The hats belong to the boyS. )

☆ The girl's dress was torn.
( The dress belongs to the girl. )
☆ The girls' dresses were torn.
( The dresses belong to the girlS. )

p/s : And also, there's a difference between " it's " and " its " .

• it's = it is ( ia adalah / ia sedang )
☆ It's raining cats and dogs out here.
( Ia sedang hujan disini. )

• it's = it has ( ia telah )
☆ It's been a hard time for me to heal from this disease.
( Ia telah menjadi masa yang sukar untuk saya sembuh dari penyakit ini. )

• its = kepunyaannya ( often used for objects / animals )
☆ The dog wagged its tail.
( Anjing itu menggoyangkan ekor kepunyaannya / ekornya. )

Im pretty sure some of you are already struggling because of the amount of homework given at school + studying for coming examination.

Balancing homework and studying can be tough, but with good time management, you can handle both efficiently. Here are some tips for you guys:

1. Create a Daily Schedule

🎒📚Set specific time blocks for homework and studying.

🗓 Use a planner or digital calendar to track tasks.

❗️Prioritize urgent assignments and upcoming tests.


2. Use the Pomodoro Technique

🕔🕙 Study / do homework for 25-50 minutes, then take a 5-10 minute break which helps to  maintain focus and prevents burnout.


3. Set Clear Goals

✍ List down all homework and study tasks.

❗️Break big tasks into smaller, manageable ones.

🧠 Aim to finish homework before studying to free up your mind.


4. Avoid Procrastination

😮‍💨⏰ Start with the hardest or most time-consuming task first.

📲 Use apps like Forest or Notion to stay focused.


5. Use School Time Wisely

📕🏫 If you have free periods at school, complete easy homework to reduce workload at home.

📑 Revise notes in between classes.


6. Keep Study Sessions Short but Effective

📚📖 Instead of long study hours, do focused 1-2 hour sessions.

✍📝 Revise notes daily to avoid last-minute cramming.
