what is english ????????/

English is a West Germanic language originating in England, and the first
language for most people in Australia, Canada, the Commonwealth Caribbean, Ireland, New Zealand,
the United
Kingdom and the United States of America (also commonly known as the Anglosphere).
It is used extensively as a second
language and as an official language throughout the world,
especially in Commonwealth countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South
Africa, and in many international organizations.

Modern English is sometimes described as the global lingua
franca. English is the dominant international language in communications,
science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The influence
of the British Empire is the primary reason for the initial
spread of the language far beyond the British Isles.
Following World War II, the growing economic and cultural influence of the United States
has significantly accelerated the spread of the language. Today English is being
learnt by one billion people.

Because a working knowledge of English is required in certain fields,
professions, and occupations, English is studied and spoken by over a billion
people around the world, to at least a basic level. English is one of six
official languages of the United Nations.

The English apostrophe s and s apostrophe cause a lot of problems, even
for native speakers. This lesson's task is to help you learn about
possessives and contractions that need apostrophes and plurals that
don't.



The apostrophe has two purposes in English:

1. To indicate that one or more letters was dropped in a contraction:
   
   it is > it's
   
   we are > we're
   
   does not > doesn't
   
   of the clock > o'clock
   
2. To indicate possession:
   
   a) singular with 's
   
   Tom's book
   
   Jeannie's idea
   
   the girl's toys (toys belong to one girl)
   
   b) plural with s'
   
   the books' covers
   
   my brothers' jobs
   
   the girls' toys (toys belong to several girls)
   

The apostrophe should never be used when you are just talking about
something that is plural, with no possession.

The girl's walked by > The girls walked by

My brother's are tall > My brothers are tall

Welcome traveler's > Welcome travelers

The Bottom Line
Just remember that the apostrophe has a purpose: to indicate a
contraction or possession. It does not indicate a plural - the letter s
does a fine job of that all by itself.
