“What animals did you see in Canada?” I asked Pam.

She replied, “I saw chipmunks, racoons and even a huge

grizzly bear.”

“I thought grizzly bears were dangerous,” I said.

“Not usually, but they will attack people if they think their cubs are in

danger,” Pam answered.

b) The apostrophes showing contractions (missing letters) have been added below:

Hi Pete,

I’ve just read the article about Pam’s holiday. I haven’t been to

Canada, but I’d love to go to there. It’s an amazing place isn’t it?

Wouldn’t it be exciting to see a bear in the wild? Pam should’ve

taken a photo!

Regards, Chris Finch

c) The four apostrophes showing ownership have been added below:

 I have one dog. My dog’s collar is blue.

 I have three hamsters. The hamsters’ cage is in my study.
