Find missing apostrophes

English

Answer:

Astronomers are telling people to be especially watchful this evening, as a rare event could be making a very special appearance. The release of energised <u>particles</u> from the sun, coupled with particularly helpful overnight conditions, is predicted to make the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) visible much further south than normal. Interviewed earlier today by Chris Ross, Channel Six's science correspondent, Derwent University's Professor Andrew Higgins told her that, "it's a once-in-a-decade opportunity that people really shouldn't miss. Thanks to several fronts of high air pressure, the skies tonight will be particularly clear. I'll be over the moon come the dawn."

Explanation:

The apostrophe has two basic functions:

  • to express possession, for example, <em>dog's, man's; dogs', men's</em>, etc.;
  • to indicate that letters have been removed to form a contraction: <em>he'll (= he will), mustn't (= must not),</em> etc.

The highlighted word<em> particles' </em>is incorrect because an apostrophe is not needed there. Possession is already expressed there by the use of a preposition <em>of.</em>

The words <em>Six's</em> and <em>University's</em> are examples of the apostrophe's first function.

The words <em>it's, shouldn't, </em>and <em>I'll</em> are contractions (<em>it is, should not, </em>and<em> I will</em>).
