A Conversation for Jordan

Grammar - use of the apostrophe

Post 1

Researcher 192031

The article on Jordan, http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A413885, contains several grammatical errors:

"entrance fee's" - "fees" is plural, so does not take an apostrophe.

"make the hike's" - "hikes" is plural, so does not take an apostrophe.

"sun is at it's strongest" - "its" is already the possessive form of "it", so does not take an apostrophe.

"these donkey's" - plural. No apostrophe.

"famous for it's mosaic" - "its" is the possessive form. No apostrophe.

"because of it's location" - No apostrophe.

"issue visa's" - plural. No apostrophe.
