Also what are the other key uses of ‘ after words?


Many thanks in advance.

And 're stands for are, and 'm stands for am, and 'll stands for will or shall.

In informal speech, after some question words, 'd stands for did. Very informally, 's can also stand for does.

's also stands for us in Let's.
And 's forms the possessive case.
