		<description><![CDATA[You should use an apostrophe to form the possessive case of a noun or to show that you have left out letters in a contraction. Note that you should not generally use contractions in formal, academic writing.

The convertible&#8217;s engine has finally died. (The noun &#8220;convertible&#8217;s&#8221; is in the possessive case)
