    The apostrophe has four main uses in English: 1. To mark the omission of letters in contractions like "don't" from "do not". 2. To indicate possession for both singular and plural nouns like "the dog's bone" and "the dogs' bones". 3. To form certain plurals of lowercase letters like "mind your p's and q's". 4. In names or words derived from other languages where an apostrophe replaces the place of a missing letter like "cafe" from the French "café".
