"Why ...", I hear you ask, "do I need to use one??"

Reason 1 : Omit a letter

When you join two words to make one, and you OMIT a character.

For example:

"I am" - becomes - "I'm"

"We are " - becomes - "We're"

"It is" - becomes - "It's"

 

Reason 2 : Ownership

 

When you want to show possession - this thing belongs to that person or thing.

For example:

Heather's rubber ducky.
Means, "The rubber ducky belongs to Heather."

"The company's picnic is to be held on Saturday."
Means, "The picnic belongs to the company."
