Correct word order in sentences 

What do you know about word order? 

Correct word order in sentences 

The standard order of words in an English sentence is subject + verb + object. 

However, it's not always this simple. 

Correct word order in sentences 

Best way to know the correct word order is by practice.

Plural vs possessive 

What is the difference? 

Plural 

Plural means more than one, which requires adding only an “s” at the end of most words. 

Example: snake becomes snakes (more than one snake). There is no apostrophe here.

Possessive 

Possessive means ownership, which requires inserting an apostrophe before the “s.” Example: snake’s tongue. Here, you are not indicating more than one snake, but showing the snake owns the tongue.

Plural possessive means more than one, plus ownership. In this case, handle the plural first, then the possessive. For many words, the plural already ends in “s,” so just add an apostrophe by itself after the “s.” Example: snakes’ tongues. Here, you have many snakes that own tongues.
