Using Possessives: Apostrophe "s" here?
0 Hi There: 02 br
00 Is it "seniors care facilities" and "basic skills issues" or "seniors' care facilties" and "basic skills' issues"? I'm confused about the use of the apostrophe here. I don't think they require apostrophes, but i can't articulate exactly why. But wouldn't it be like using "David's pencil" in the sense that the care facilities belong to the seniors? 02 br
00 Thanks for your help. 02 br
