A plural noun is a Word for two or more people, places, and things.

A contraction is two Words shortened to a single Word using an apostrophe to take the place of the missing letters of the original Words. The contraction of a noun is used only informally. The more common used of contraction is a pronoun-verb or a verb-adverb combination.

A possessive noun also uses an apostrophe to indicate that something in the sentence belongs to that noun.

Examples:

The houses on this street were built in the last century. (plural noun, two or more houses)

These houses'll be torn down soon. (plural noun contraction; these houses'll be = these houses will be)

This house's age is much less. (singular, possessive noun; the age of one house)

Those houses' status is condemned. (plural, possessive noun; the status of all those houses)
