Mr. and Mrs. are short for Mister and Misus/ Missis. The contraction Mr. has been used since the1500s. Mr. was used as a shortering of master, a title used for men of high authority. Miss has been used as an honorific for unmarried women or their marital status is unknown or unimportant or for young girls. Ms. is an honorific used to refer a woman of unknown marital status or when marital status is irrelevant. A person may prefer any or none of these titles, and it is always best to ask a person how they want to be addressed before using a particular title.

Hello, well, the apostrophe shows that two words have been connected (contraction). We use an apostrophe + s after the name or the noun. When the noun is plural, we put the apostrophe after the s: eg: Is that Mike’s watch? There was a big teachers’ conference last week. Warning: We use ’s for has and is, eg: She’s seen that movie already. (has) He’s my brother. (is) Warning: We use ’d for had and would, eg: They’d never been to Japan before. (had) She’d love to live in England.(would). We can use an apostrophe + s to show duration. When the time noun is plural, the apostrophe comes after the s, eg: For me, writing an essay involves at least an hour’s work. It was just ten minutes’ walk from my house to my office. When we write the time, we sometimes use  o’clock, eg: 19:00: seven o’clock 18:00: six o’clock
