Here are the three most common mistakes related to apostrophes: (1) To show normal plurals. three cat's (should be "cats") good idea's (should be "ideas") two video's (should be "videos") (2) Randomly before the letter "s." He like's pies. (should be "likes") Jack agree's with you. (should be "agrees")

One of the most common mistakes people make with apostrophes is using them incorrectly for plurals. Remember, the apostrophe is not used to make a word plural. Instead, you simply add an “s” to the end of the word. For example: Dogs (not dog’s) Apples (not apple’s) Cars (not car’s)

The car’s windscreen is foggy. Rome’s backstreets are charming. A series of actions led to Captain Cook’s demise. The princess’s role has become less traditional. With proper nouns that ends in s, most style guides—including APA and MLA —recommend adding ’s.

In most cases adding a possessive apostrophe to a year is a mistake. An exception is if you’re indicating that the year or years are possessive. She lived in Algeria in the early 1700s. The 1930s saw a downturn in the economy. The late 90’s embrace of SUVs changed the car market. It was 2022’s biggest news story.
