Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.
Do you have trouble knowing when to use an apostrophe?
Basically apostrophes are for possession, like: This is Tom’s pencil.
Or contractions: It’s a beautiful pencil.
And you don’t use an apostrophe for plurals, like: Tom’s shoes are cool.
If you’re having trouble with this I recommend you check out a video called: Steve's Grammatical Observations: The Misuse of Apostrophe's
By the way he’s made a mistake on purpose, as a joke. There should be no apostrophe there.

The site I recommend today is called Wordie.
On this site you can make lists of words and phrases. I think this site could be useful if you’re trying to increase your vocabulary. Or if you’re studying and you have a whole list of words that you have to learn. As you probably know, one good way to remember words is to use them or play with them. So you could use this site to kind of play with words by making lists.
And you can make any kind of list, for example a list of your favourite adjectives, or a list of words that you have difficulty pronouncing, or a list of new words that you learnt in February, or whatever ... and just by making those lists, it could help you to remember them.
STICK NEWS
Kia ora in Stick News today the mayor of New York temporarily renamed a street U2.
U2 is an Irish rock band that formed in 1976.

Their promotional plan for the album and their upcoming tour includes appearing on a popular TV program called The Late Show with David Letterman.

Word of the Day
Today’s word is plethora.
A plethora of something means an excess of.
The example here is: The report contained a plethora of detail.
Which means it had too much detail.
Plethora is a pretty popular word on wordie. It’s number nine in the list of the words that are in the most lists.
