Answer 1

Q. What's the difference between a cat and a comma?
A. A comma is a pause at the end of a clause, and a cat has claws at the end of its paws.

Answer 2

Not sure I understand the question but here goes....

You use a comma to make a break in the sentence, an apostrophe is used to make a plural... i.e.

the girl's toy was a doll - i.e. the toy belonging to the girl
the toy, belonging to the girl, was a doll - breaking the sentence to describe - is this what you mean??

Answer 3

Okay.. why do you use a comma instead of an apostrophe? A comma separates clauses whereas an apostrophe shows ownership.

Answer 4

Yes, I knew that.

A comma symbolizes a pause in speech, where an apostrophe symbolizes abbreviations/contractions (weren't, aren't, wouldn't) and/or possessiveness (Luke's, Anna's).

There are other uses, but it's been a long time since grammar lessons.

Answer 5

Actually, the apostrophe doesn't mean plural... it shows possession ... like Lil's book... or that a letter has been left out like in a contraction... doesn't for example....

Answer 6

when the f can you use an apostrophe in place of a comma????
