Grammar
Correct Usage Aostrophe
Hello everyone;
I often do translation and I have recently faced a confusion in apostrophe usage. I exactly do not understnad where to use it. For instance, it is commonly written in many articles that
Indai's prime minister or the prime minister of Indai, However, in some other cases, we are not allowed to use apostrophe.For example, Human Rights not Human's Right. Furthermore, we can write Woman's Day but not Human's right. What are the exact rules which thoroughly remove the confusion of apostrophe and through which we can use apostrophe with confident and without any hesitation.
Thanks in advance.

It is a matter of usage. India's prime minister or the prime minister of India - Both of these are fine. The India prime minister cannot be faulted for grammar; it is just not used.
