  2. Their vs. They’re vs. There Kenzie G. & Katie B. are excited to get their driver’s licenses. They’re going to drive to Florida for spring break. Once they arrive there, they will go to Disney World.

  3. Their vs. They’re vs. There Their = possessive pronoun They’re = contraction of they & are There = refers to location (or is an indefinite pronoun: There are 20 students in this class.)

  4. Affect vs. Effect Today’s rainy weather has really affected Mr. Wyatt’s mood. The 10 page essay he assigned is an effect of that mood. Affect (v.) = to influence; to make a difference regarding (n. physical evidence of how you’re feeling) Effect (n.) = change that is the result of an action or other consequence (v. to create or to bring about)

  6. Apostrophes (Part 1) • Possessives • Singular noun. Ex. Tanner’s jacket is black with yellow flames and says T-Bone in rhinestones. • Plural noun. Ex. The classic Mustang is my parents’ favorite car, and they would kill me if I wrecked it. • Singular noun ending in –s. Jonas’s (or Jonas’) memories flooded Gabriel’s heart & mind.

  7. Apostrophes (Part 2) • Contractions: • Ex. Matthewand Akashthought they were late, but they’re actually on time. • Ex. Claireloves the movie; Holland says it’s boring; and Anna M. is asleep. • Caution: its is a possessive pronoun while it’s is a contraction of it and is! • The dog is taking _____ medicine because ________ sick. • Apostrophe takes the place of the missing letters – indicates that two words are being mushed together.
