Where to use the apostrophe...

I am confused as to where to use the apostrophe, for example the company Sheilas' Wheels uses if after the 's', therefore where would you put it for Sheila's' builders? Or something to that effect?

Don't get confused by this example. Sheila is not being used as a woman's name. Sheila is Australian slang for woman.

  • Don't get confused by this example.
  • Sheila is not being used as a woman's name.
  • Sheila is Australian slang for woman.
  • so in this case sheilas' is correct.
  • if we were talking of one woman named sheila, it would be sheila's.
