These are apostrophes (not quotes): sister's = belonging to one sister sisters' = belonging to several sisters For example: My sister's bedroom -- she has her own bedroom. My sisters' bedroom -- two or more sisters share a bedroom. sister's can also be a contraction of "sister is" or "sister has": My sister's not well.
