Examples : - a) Ajay , Ali and sham went to school . b) Raja was an honest , obedient and helpful child . c) Well , let me try to do what can I do . 2) The use of an Apostrophe (‘) : - An apostrophe is used to show possession ; to write short forms e.g. do not – don’t , is not – isn’t , you will – you’ll .
