hollyh Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 For the word "twins" does it need an apostrophe? Here is an example of the sentence. Come celebrate the twins birthday. I'm thinking twins needs to be twins' - right? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) It needs an apostrophe if it is possessive. Edited July 8, 2012 by Sis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hana Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Right. If you are referring to a party being held for both twins, it should be twins' party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yes, you are correct. Today, we celebrate the birthday of the twins. *no apostrophe Come and celebrate the twins' birthday. *apostrophe because it is possessive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
